Twenty - Hebrews - 1

1:1  God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the Prophets,

1:2  has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

1:3  For he is the radiance of the Glory of God and the very expression of his Being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of men, he 'took his seat at the right hand' of God's Majesty on high,

1:4  having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the Name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

1:5  For to which of the angels did God ever say--'Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father'?or again--'I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son'?

1:6  And again, when God brought the First-born into the world, he said-- 'Let all the angels of God bow down before him.'

1:7  Speaking of the angels, he said--'He makes the winds his angels and the fiery flames his servants';

1:8  while of the Son he said--'God is thy throne for ever and ever; The scepter of his Kingdom is the scepter of Justice;

1:9  Thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the festal oil more abundantly than thy peers.'

1:10  Again--'Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

1:11  They shall perish, but thou remainest; As a garment they shall all grow old;

1:12  As a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And as a garment they shall be changed, But thou art the same, and thy years shall know no end.'

1:13  To which of the angels has God ever said--'Sit thou at my right hand until I put thy enemies as a stool for thy feet'?

1:14  Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain Salvation?
