Hebrews 1: (YLT)
|
1) In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
|
2) in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;
|
3) who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might -- through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
|
4) having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.
|
5) For to which of the messengers said He ever, 'My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, 'I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'
|
6) and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him -- all messengers of God;'
|
7) and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, 'Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;'
|
8) and unto the Son: 'Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy reign;
|
9) thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee -- God, thy God -- with oil of gladness above thy partners;'
|
10) and, 'Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;
|
11) these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,
|
12) and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'
|
13) And unto which of the messengers said He ever, 'Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'
|
14) are they not all spirits of service -- for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
