< Hebrews 1 >

1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
God, who at sundry times, and various ways, spake of old unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son,
2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. (aiōn g165)
whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. (aiōn g165)
3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Who being the refulgence of his glory and the imprest image of his person, and sustaining all things by his powerful word, having by Himself performed the purging away of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high.
4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
Being as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent than they.
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 to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
For to which of the angels did He ever say, "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?"
6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
and when He again introduceth the First-born into the world, he saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."
7 Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
And as to the angels He saith, "Who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire:"
8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)
but to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness: (aiōn g165)
9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."
10 And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:
11 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
they shall perish, but thou remainest; and they shall all grow old as a garment,
12 You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
and as a mantle wilt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."
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?”
But to which of the angels hath He ever said, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
