Hebrews 1
Chapter 1
The Nature of the Son
1 Long ago God spoke(a) to the fathers by the prophets(b) at different times and in different ways.(c) 2 In these last days,(d) He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe[a](e) through Him. 3 The Son is the radiance[b] of God's glory and the exact expression[c] of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins,[d] He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.[e](f) 4 So He became higher in rank than the angels, just as the name He inherited is superior to theirs.(g)
The Son Superior to Angels
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father, [f][g] or again, I will be His Father, and He will be My Son ?(h)[h] 6 When He again[i] brings His firstborn into the world,(i) He says, And all God's angels must worship Him. (j)[j] 7 And about the angels He says:
He makes His angels winds,
[k]
and His servants
[l]
a fiery flame,
(k)[m]
8 but to[n] the Son:
Your throne, God,
is forever and ever,
and the scepter of Your kingdom
is a scepter of justice.
(l)
9
You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
this is why God, Your God,
has anointed You
with the oil of joy
(m)
rather than Your companions.
[o][p]
10 And:
In the beginning, Lord,
You established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of Your hands;
(n)
11
they will perish, but You remain.
They will all wear out like clothing;
(o)
12
You will roll them up like a cloak,
[q]
and they will be changed like a robe.
But You are the same,
and Your years will never end.
(p)[r]
13 Now to which of the angels has He ever said:
Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies Your footstool
?[s](q)[t]
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?(r)
