Chapter 1 | |
1 | God, who at sundry times and in adivers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, |
2 | Hath
in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed 1heir of
all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
|
3 | Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: |
4 | Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. |
5 |
For unto which of the angels said he at any time,
1Thou art my Son, this day
have I begotten thee? And again,
2I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to
me a Son?
|
6 | And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the aworld, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. |
7 |
And of the angels he saith,
Who maketh his angels spirits, and his
ministers a flame of fire.
|
8 |
But unto the Son he saith,
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a
sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
|
9 |
1Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated
ainiquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy fellows.
|
10 | And,
1Thou, Lord, in the 2beginning hast laid the foundation of the
earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
|
11 |
1They shall 2perish; but thou remainest;
and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
|
12 |
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they
shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
|
13 | But to which of the angels
said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy
footstool?
|
14 | Are they
not all ministering 1spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs
of salvation?
