New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
5 For God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus: “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father. ” God also said, “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 And when he brought his supreme Son into the world, God said, “Let all of God’s angels worship him.”
6
And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”
7 Regarding the angels, he says, “He sends his angels like the winds, his servants like flames of fire.”
7
In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”
8 But to the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice.
8
But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You love justice and hate evil. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.”
9
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
10 He also says to the Son, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.
10
He also says, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing.
11
They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12 You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever.”
12
You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”
13 And God never said to any of the angels, “Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.”
13
To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet” ?
14 Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.
14
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
