Hebrews 1

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers 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 heir 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, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again,[a] when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith , And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of[b] 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[c] is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore * God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish ; 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 spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
