Hebrews 1

1 Whereas, in many parts and in many ways of old, God spake unto the fathers, in the prophets,

God, who at several times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 At the end of these days, He hath spoken unto us in his Son, —whom he hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also he hath made the ages; (aiōn g165)

Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

3 Who, being an eradiated brightness of his glory, and an exact representation of his very being, also bearing up all things by the utterance of his power, purification of sins, having achieved, sat down on the right hand of the majesty in high places:

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

4 By so much becoming superior to the messengers, by as much as, going beyond them, he hath inherited a more distinguished name.

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

5 For unto which of the messengers said he at any time—My Son, art, thou, I, this day have begotten thee? and again—I, will become, his father, and, he, shall become my Son?

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

6 But, whensoever he again introduceth the first-begotten into the habitable earth, he saith—And let all God’s messengers worship him!

And again, when he brings in the First-Born into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7 Even as to the messengers, indeed, he saith—Who maketh his messengers, winds, and his ministers of state, a fiery flame;

And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, (pneuma) and his ministers a flame of fire.

8 but, as to the Son, —Thy throne, O God, is unto times age-abiding, and—A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of his kingdom, (aiōn g165)

But unto the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of your kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, —For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners;

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

10 and—Thou, by way of beginning, Lord, the earth, didst found, and, the works of thy hands, are the heavens, —

And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:

11 They, shall perish, but, thou, abidest still, and, all, as a mantle, shall be worn out,

They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;

12 And, as if a robe, wilt thou fold them up, —as a mantle, and they shall be changed; but, thou, art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.

13 But, to which of the messengers, hath he said, at any time—Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?

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

14 Are they not, all, spirits, doing public service, —for ministry, sent forth, for the sake of them who are about to inherit salvation?

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