Chapter 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, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he
saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. |
| 7 | And of 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 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? |
