Hebrews 1

The Supremacy of God's Son

1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
"You are my Son,
today I have begotten you"?
Or again,
"I will be to him a father,
and he shall be to me a son"?

6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him."

7 Of the angels he says,
"He makes his angels winds,
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.
9  You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."

10 And,
"You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11  they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
12  like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.t
But you are the same,
and your years will have no end."

13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,
"Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

Hebrews 1

1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,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.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, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time,

“You are my Son.
Today have I become your father?”t
and again,

“I will be to him a Father,
and he will be to me a Son?”t
6 Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”

7 Of the angels he says,

“Who makes his angels winds,
and his servants a flame of fire.”t

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

10 And,

“You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.
The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you continue.
They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 As a mantle, you will roll them up,
and they will be changed;
but you are the same.
Your years will not fail.”t

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?”t

14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
