Hebrews 1

HNV

MSG

1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
1 Going through a long line of prophets, God has been addressing our ancestors in different ways for centuries.
2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
2 Recently he spoke to us directly through his Son. By his Son, God created the world in the beginning, and it will all belong to the Son at the end.
3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
3 This Son perfectly mirrors God, and is stamped with God's nature. He holds everything together by what he says - powerful words! The Son Is Higher than Angels
4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
4 far higher than any angel in rank and rule.
5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son, Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, And he will be to me a Son?"
5 Did God ever say to an angel, "You're my Son; today I celebrate you"? Or, "I'm his Father, he's my Son"?
6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
6 When he presents his honored Son to the world, he says, "All angels must worship him."
7 Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, And his servants a flame of fire."
7 Regarding angels he says, The messengers are winds, the servants are tongues of fire.
8 but of the Son he says, "Your throne, God, is forever and ever; The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
8 But he says to the Son, You're God, and on the throne for good; your rule makes everything right.
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, your God, has anointed you With the oil of gladness above your fellows."
9 You love it when things are right; you hate it when things are wrong. That is why God, your God, poured fragrant oil on your head, Marking you out as king, far above your dear companions.
10 And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the eretz. The heavens are the works of your hands.
10 And again to the Son, You, Master, started it all, laid earth's foundations, then crafted the stars in the sky.
11 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
11 Earth and sky will wear out, but not you; they become threadbare like an old coat;
12 As a mantle you will roll them up. And they will be changed. But you are the same. Your years will not fail."
12 You'll fold them up like a worn-out cloak, and lay them away on the shelf. But you'll stay the same, year after year; you'll never fade, you'll never wear out.
13 But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"
13 And did he ever say anything like this to an angel? Sit alongside me here on my throne Until I make your enemies a stool for your feet.
14 Aren't they all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
14 Isn't it obvious that all angels are sent to help out with those lined up to receive salvation?
