The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Hebrews 01
1 God, having in the past spoken to the
fathers through the prophets at many times
and in various ways,
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.
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,
who, when he had by himself purified us
of our sins, sat down on the right hand of
the Majesty on high,
4 having become as much better than the
angels as the more excellent name he has
inherited is better than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did he say at
any time, “You are my Son.
Today I have become your father?”*
and again, “I will be to him a Father,
and he will be to me a Son?”*
6 When he again brings in the firstborn
into the world he says, “Let all the angels
of God worship him.”*
7 Of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels winds,
and his servants a flame of fire.”*
8 But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The scepter of uprightness is the
scepter of your Kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated
iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed
you with the oil of gladness above
your fellows.”*
10 And, “You, Lord, in the beginning,
laid the foundation of the earth.
The heavens are the works of your
hands.
11 They will perish, but you continue.
They all will grow old like a garment
does.
12 You will roll them up like a mantle,
and they will be changed;
but you are the same.
Your years won’t fail.”*
13 But which of the angels has he told at
any time, “Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the
footstool of your feet?”*
14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out
to do service for the sake of those who will
inherit salvation?
