Hebrews 1

¹God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,

²In these days hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.

³Who being the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high.

⁴Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

⁵For to which of the angels hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

⁶And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.

⁷And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

⁸But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

⁹Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

¹⁰And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.

¹¹They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.

¹²And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.

¹³But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

¹⁴Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
