Hebrews 1

1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the Prophets,

2 in these last days has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn g165)

has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (aiōn g165)

3 He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

For he is the radiance of the Glory of God and the very expression of his Being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of men, he ‘took his seat at the right hand’ of God’s Majesty on high,

4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the Name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?

For to which of the angels did God ever say — ‘Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father’? or again — ‘I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son’?

6 And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

And again, when God brought the First-born into the world, he said — ‘Let all the angels of God bow down before him.’

7 Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."

Speaking of the angels, he said — ‘He makes the winds his angels And the fiery flames his servants’;

8 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)

while of the Son he said — ‘God is thy throne for ever and ever; The sceptre of his Kingdom is the sceptre of Justice; (aiōn g165)

9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."

Thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the festal oil more abundantly than thy peers.’

10 And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

Again — ‘Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

11 They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.

They shall perish, but thou remainest; As a garment they shall all grow old;

12 As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no end."

As a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And as a garment they shall be changed, But thou art the same, and thy years shall know no end.’

13 But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

To which of the angels has God ever said — ‘Sit thou at my right hand Until I put thy enemies as a stool for thy feet’?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain Salvation?
