[Hebrews 1]


     1:1 God, having spoken to the fathers in the prophets long-ago, in many parts and in many manners, 1:2 has upon the end of these days spoken to us in his Son, whom he appointed* heir of all things, through whom he also made* the ages. 1:3 He who is the brightness of his glory and theexact representation of his essence and is carrying all things by the word of his power through himself. When he had made* a cleansing of our sins, he sat down by the right hand of the Majesty on high; 1:4 having become so-much better than the messengers, inasmuch as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.

     1:5 For* to which of the messengers has he previously said, НYou are my Son; I have fathered you today.М? And again, НI will be to him a Father and he will be to me a Son.М? {Ps. 2:7, 89:26, 27}1:6 And whenever he brings in the firstborn again into the world*, he says, НAnd let all the messengers of God worship him.М 1:7 And of the messengers he says, НWho makes* his messengers, spirits, and his ministers*, a flame of fire.М 1:8 But he says of the Son, НYour throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. 1:9 You have loved* righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.М {Ps. 45:6, 7} 1:10 And, НYou, Lord, in the beginning made the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of your hands: 1:11 they will perish; but you are remaining and they will all become-obsolete like a garment; 1:12 and you will coil them up like an outer dressing and they will be changed; but you are the same and your years will not fail.М {Ps. 102:25} 1:13 But of which of the messengers has he previously said, НSit at my right hand, until I should place your enemies under the footstool of your feet? {Ps. 110:1}

     1:14 Are they not all ministering* spirits, being sent forth into the service because of those who are about to inherit salvation?
