Hebrews 1
1
The Nature of the Son
1Long ago God spoke # Jn 9:29; Heb 2:2-3 to the fathers by the prophets # 2Kg 17:13; 21:10; 24:2; Jr 7:25; 26:5; 29:19; 35:15; 44:4; Ezk 38:17; Dn 9:6; Hs 12:10; Zch 1:6; 8:9; Mt 2:23; Lk 1:70; 24:44; Ac 2:30; 3:21,24 at different times and in different ways. # Nm 12:6,8; Jl 2:28 2In these last days, # Ac 2:17; Gl 4:4; 2Tm 3:1; 2Pt 3:3; Jd 18 He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things # Jr 3:19; 10:16; Zch 8:12 and made the universe # Lit ages # Ps 2:8; Jn 1:3; Col 1:16; Rv 4:11 through Him. 3The Son is the radiance # Or reflection of God’s glory and the exact expression # Or representation, or copy, or reproduction of His nature, # 2Co 4:4 sustaining all things by His powerful word. # Ps 33:6 After making purification for sins, # Other mss read for our sins by Himself He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. # Or He sat down on high at the right hand of the Majesty # Mt 22:44; Mk 16:19; Col 1:17 4So He became higher in rank than the angels, just as the name He inherited is superior to theirs. # Eph 1:21; Php 2:9
The Son Superior to Angels
5For to which of the angels did He ever say, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father, # Or have begotten You # Ps 2:7 or again, I will be His Father, and He will be My Son? # 2Sm 7:14; Ps 2:7; Ac 13:33 # 2Sm 7:14; 1Ch 17:13 6When He again # Or And again, when He brings His firstborn into the world, # Col 1:15,18; Rv 1:5 He says, And all God’s angels must worship Him. # Dt 32:43; Ps 97:7 # Dt 32:43 LXX; Ps 97:7 7And about the angels He says:
He makes His angels winds, # Or spirits
and His servants # Or ministers a fiery flame, # Ps 104:4 # Ps 104:4
8but to # Or about the Son:
Your throne, God,
is forever and ever,
and the scepter of Your kingdom
is a scepter of justice. # Ps 45:6-7
9You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
this is why God, Your God,
has anointed You
with the oil of joy # Is 61:1,3; Php 2:9
rather than Your companions. # Or associates # Ps 45:6-7
10And:
In the beginning, Lord,
You established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of Your hands; # Ps 102:25
11they will perish, but You remain.
They will all wear out like clothing; # Is 50:9; 51:6
12You will roll them up like a cloak, # Other mss omit like a cloak
and they will be changed like a robe.
But You are the same,
and Your years will never end. # Ps 102:26-27; Heb 13:8 # Ps 102:25-27
13Now to which of the angels has He ever said:
Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies Your footstool? # Or enemies a footstool for Your feet # Jos 10:24; Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44; Mk 12:36; Ac 2:34-35; Heb 10:13 # Ps 110:1
14Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation? # Ps 103:20; Mt 18:10; Heb 5:9

Hebrews 1
1
God’s Final Word in His Son
1God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.
5For to which of the angels did He ever say,
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again,
“I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?
6And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
“And let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7And of the angels He says,
“Who makes His angels winds,
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8But of the Son He says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the righteous scepter is the scepter of #Late mss read YourHis kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”
10And,
“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11They will perish, but You remain;
And they all will become old like a garment,
12And like a mantle You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.”
13But to which of the angels has He ever said,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I make Your enemies
A footstool for Your feet”?
14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
