ISV - Hebrews - 1

1:1  The Letter to the HebrewsGod Has Spoken to UsGod, having spoken in former times in fragmentary and varied fashion to our forefathers by the prophets,

1:2  has in these last days spoken to us by a Son whom he appointed to be the heir of everything and through whom he also made the universe.

1:3  He is the reflectionOr radiance of God's glory and the exact likeness of his being, and he holds everything together by his powerful word. After he had provided a cleansing from sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Highest Majesty

1:4  and became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is better than theirs.

1:5  God's Son Is Superior to the AngelsFor to which of the angels did GodLit. he ever say, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father”?Ps 2:7 Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?2 Sam 7:14

1:6  And again, when he bringsOr And when he again brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God's angels worship him.”Deut 32:43 (LXX); Ps 97:7

1:7  Now about the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds,and his servants flames of fire.”Ps 104:4

1:8  But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God,is forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdomis a righteous scepter.

1:9  You have loved righteousnessand hated wickedness. That is why God, your God,anointed you rather than your companionswith the oil of gladness.”Ps 45:6-7

1:10  And, “In the beginning, Lord,you laid the foundation of the earth,and the heavens are the work of your hands.

1:11  They will come to an end,but you will remain forever.They will all wear out like clothes.

1:12  You will roll them up like a robe,and they will be changed like clothes. But you remain the same,and your years will never end.”Ps 102:25-27

1:13  But to which of the angels did he ever say, “Sit at my right handuntil I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?Ps 110:1

1:14  All of them are spirits on a divine mission, sent to serve those who are about to inherit salvation, aren't they?
