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? |
