Hebrews 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
Superiority of the Son
1At many times and in many ways, God spoke long ago to the fathers through the prophets.
2In these last days He has spoken to us through a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things and through whom He created the universe.
3This Son is the radiance of His glory and the imprint of His being, upholding all things by His powerful word. When He had made purification for our sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4Thus He became as far above the angels as the name He has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are My Son. Today I have become Your Father”? And again, “I will be to Him a Father, and He will be to Me a Son”?
6And again, when He brings the firstborn into the world, He says, “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7And regarding the angels He says, “He makes His angels winds, and His servants a flame of fire.”
8But regarding the Son He says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your companions.”
10And, “In the beginning, Adonai, You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Your hands.
11They shall pass away, but You remain. And they will all wear out like clothing.
12And like a robe You will roll them up, and like clothing they will be changed; but You are the same, and Your years shall never 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 for service to those about to inherit salvation?
