Hebrews 1

God’s Final Word in His Son

¹God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,

²in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the world.[#1:2 Or at the end of these days; #1:2 Or in the person of a Son; lit in Son; #1:2 Lit ages]

³And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,[#1:3 Lit Who being; #1:3 Lit upholding; #1:3 Or His word of power]

⁴having become so much better than the angels, to the extent that He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

⁵For to which of the angels did He ever say,

“You are My Son ,

Today I have fathered You ”?

And again,

“I will be a Father to Him

And He will be a Son to Me ”?

⁶And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,[#1:6 Or again when He brings; #1:6 Lit the inhabited earth]

“And let all the angels of God worship Him .”

⁷And regarding the angels He says,

“He makes His angels winds ,

And His ministers a flame of fire .”

⁸But regarding the Son He says,

“Your throne , God , is forever and ever ,

And the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of His kingdom .

⁹“You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness ;

Therefore God , Your God , has anointed You

With the oil of joy above Your companions .”

¹⁰And,

“You , Lord , in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth ,

And the heavens are the works of Your hands ;

¹¹They will perish , but You remain ;

And they all will wear out like a garment ,

¹²And like a robe You will roll them up ;

Like a garment they will also be changed .

But You are the same ,

And Your years will not come to an end .”

¹³But to which of the angels has He ever said,

“Sit at My right hand ,

Until I make Your enemies

A footstool for Your feet ”?

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