Hebrews 1

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

God, who in the past spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at various times and in many ways,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

has in these last days spoken to us through his Son. God appointed the Son heir of everything, and made the universe through him. (aiōn g165)

3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

The Son is the radiant glory of God, and the visible expression of his true character. He sustains everything by his powerful command. When he had provided cleansing for sin he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

He was placed much higher than the angels since he received a greater name than them.

5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

God never said to any angel, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father,” or “I will be a Father to him, and he will be a Son to me.”

6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Also, when he brought his firstborn Son into the world, he said, “Let all God's angels worship him.”

7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

Regarding the angels, he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire,”

8 But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

but about the Son he says, “Your throne, God, lasts forever and ever, and justice is the ruling scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, [even] thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

You love what is right, and hate what is lawless. That is why God, your God, has placed you above everyone else by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

“You, Lord, laid the foundations of the earth in the beginning. The heavens are the product of your hands.

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

They will come to an end, but you will continue. They will wear out like clothes do,

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

and you will roll them up like a cloak. Like clothes, they will be changed, but you never change, and your life never ends.”

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

But he never said to any angel, “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies in subjection under your feet.”

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

What are the angels? They are beings that serve, sent out to help those who will receive salvation.
