Hebrews 1

In many portions and in many ways long ago, God, having spoken to our fathers through the prophets,

at the last of these days spoke to us through a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages;

who, being the brightness of his glory and exact representation of his being, upholding all the things by the word of his power and having made purification for sins, sat down at the right of the Majesty on high; \*

having become far superior to the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.

For to which of the angels did he ever say, “You are my son. Today I have fathered you”? And again, “I will be as a father to him, and he will be as a son to me”? \*

But again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “And let all the angels of God worship him.”

And on the one hand, with regard to the angels, he says, “The one making his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.” \*

But with regard to the Son, “Your throne, God, {is} forever {and} ever, and the scepter of righteousness {is the} scepter of his kingdom. 9 You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you {with the} oil of exultation more than your companions.” \* 10 And “according to the beginnings, Lord, you founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11 They themselves will perish, but you yourself will continue, and they will all wear out like a garment, 12 and as a cloak you will roll them up, and as a garment they will be changed, but you yourself are the same, and your years will not fail.” \*

But to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool {for} your feet”?

Are they not all ministering spirits, being sent for service for the sake of the ones going to inherit salvation? \*
