Hebrews 1:1-6

CEB

NIV

1 In the past, God spoke through the prophets to our ancestors in many times and many ways.
1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 In these final days, though, he spoke to us through a Son. God made his Son the heir of everything and created the world through him.
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
3 The Son is the light of God's glory and the imprint of God's being. He maintains everything with his powerful message. After he carried out the cleansing of people from their sins, he sat down at the right side of the highest majesty.
3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
4 And the Son became so much greater than the other messengers, such as angels, that he received a more important title than theirs.
4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
5 After all, when did God ever say to any of the angels: You are my Son. Today I have become your Father? Or, even, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father” ? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son” ?
6 But then, when he brought his firstborn into the world, he said, All of God's angels must worship him.
6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”
