Hebrews 1

CHAPTER 1

God’s Final Word in His Son

¹God, having ^aspoken long ago to the fathers in ^bthe prophets in many portions and ^cin many ways,

^21ain these last days ^bspoke to us ²in ^cHis Son, whom He appointed ^dheir of all things, ^ethrough whom also He made the ^3fworlds,

³who is the radiance of His glory and the exact ^arepresentation of His nature, and ^1bupholds all things by the word of His power; who, having accomplished ^ccleansing for sins, ^dsat down at the right hand of the ^eMajesty on high,

⁴having become so much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent ^aname than they.

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

“^aYou are My Son,

Today I have begotten You”?

And again,

“^bI will be a Father to Him

And he shall be a Son to Me”?

⁶And ¹when He again ^abrings the firstborn into ^2bthe world, He says,

“^cAnd let all the angels of God worship Him.”

⁷And of the angels He says,

“^aWho makes His angels winds,

And His ministers flaming fire.”

⁸But of the Son He says,

“^aYour throne, O God, is forever and ever,

And the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of ¹Your kingdom.

⁹“^aYou have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

^bTherefore God, Your God, has ^canointed You

With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”

¹⁰And,

“^aYou, Lord, in the beginning founded the earth,

And the heavens are the works of Your hands;

^11aThey will perish, but You remain;

^bAnd they all will wear out like a garment,

^12aAnd like a mantle You will roll them up;

Like a garment they will also be changed.

But You are ^bthe same,

And Your years will not come to an end.”

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

“^aSit at My right hand,

^bUntil I put Your enemies

As a footstool for Your feet”?

¹⁴Are they not all ^aministering spirits, sent to render service for the sake of those who will ^binherit ^csalvation?
