Hebrews 1

1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,2 in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages;3 who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,

4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.5 For to which of the messengers did He ever say, "You are My Son—today I have begotten You?" And again, "I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?"6 And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, "And let them worship Him—all messengers of God";7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, "The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire";8 but to the Son: "Your throne, O God, [is] agelong and continuous; A scepter of righteousness [is] the scepter of Your kingdom;9 You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners";10 and, "You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, || And the heavens are a work of Your hands.11 These will perish, but You remain, || And all will become old as a garment,12 And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, || But You are the same, and Your years will not fail."13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, "Sit at My right hand, || Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?"14 Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
