1 God’s Final Word in His Son God, having spoken long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
2 1:2 Or at the end of these days in these last days spoke to us 1:2 Lit in Son inHisSon, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the 1:2 Lit ages worlds,
3 who is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and 1:3Lit upholding upholds all things by the word of His power; who, having accomplished cleansing for sins, sat down at 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.
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say,“You areMySon,TodayIhave begottenYou”?And again,“Iwill be aFather toHimAndHe shall be aSon toMe”?
6 And 1:6Or again when He brings when He again brings the firstborn into 1:6Lit the inhabited earth the world, He says,“And let all the angels ofGod worshipHim.”
7 And of the angels He says,“Who makesHis angels winds,AndHis ministers flaming fire.”
8 But of the SonHe says,“Your throne, O God,is forever and ever,And the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of 1:8 Some mss His Your kingdom.
9 “You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;ThereforeGod, YourGod,has anointedYouWith the oil of gladness aboveYour companions.”
10 And,“You, Lord,in the beginning founded the earth,And the heavens are the works ofYour hands;
11 They will perish,butYou remain;And they all will wear out like a garment,
12 And like a mantleYou will roll them up;Like a garment they will also be changed.ButYou are the same,AndYour years will not come to an end.”
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said,“Sit atMy right hand,UntilIputYour enemiesAs a footstool forYour feet”?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
