Hebrews 1

God’s Supreme Revelation

1God, who ¹at various times and ^ain various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, ²has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ²worlds; ^3bwho being the brightness of His glory and the express ^cimage of His person, and ^dupholding all things by the word of His power, ^ewhen He had ³by Himself ⁴purged ⁵our sins, ^fsat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, ⁴having become so much better than the angels, as ^gHe has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

The Son Exalted Above Angels

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

^h“You are My Son,

Today I have begotten You”?

And again:

ⁱ“I will be to Him a Father,

And He shall be to Me a Son”?

⁶But when He again brings ^jthe firstborn into the world, He says:

^k“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

⁷And of the angels He says:

^l“Who makes His angels spirits

And His ministers a flame of fire.”

⁸But to the Son He says:

^m“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

A ⁶scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

⁹You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

Therefore God, Your God, ⁿhas anointed You

With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

¹⁰And:

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

And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

^11pThey will perish, but You remain;

And ^qthey will all grow old like a garment;

¹²Like a cloak You will fold them up,

And they will be changed.

But You are the ^rsame,

And Your years will not fail.”

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

^s“Sit at My right hand,

Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

^14tAre they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will ^uinherit salvation?
