Hebrews Chapter 1

1God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2has 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.

3His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, upholding all things by the word of his power. Once he had made purification for our sins he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4having become as much better than the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

5For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?" 6Again, when he brings the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him." 7Of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire." 8But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

9You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; so God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows." 10And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth; the heavens are the work of your hands.

11They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

12You will roll them up like a mantle and they will be changed. But you are the same; your years won't fail." 13But 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?" 14Aren't they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
