| 1:1 At many times and in various ways in the past, God spoke to the fathers by the prophets. • 2 In these present final days God has spoken us inside His Son, whom He appointed heir of all, and through whom He forms the ages. • 3 This Son is the shining forth of glory and the character and exact reproduction of God’s substance, • bringing forth, carrying, and sustaining all by His power-filled word [a]. • Having crafted through Himself the full cleansing away of all falling short, He sat down inside the right hand of exalted Majesty. 4 In so doing, He became so much better than the angels, since He has inherited a name superior to theirs. 5 Indeed, to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are My Son; today I have conceived You?” (Psalm 2:7). And again, “I will be HIs Father and He will be My Son?” (2 Samuel 7:14) 6 Again, when God brings the firstborn into the inhabited realms of heaven-earth, He says, “And let all the angels of God worship Him” (Deuteronomy 32:43). 7 But towards the angels He says, “The One who makes His angels spirits [or winds] and His public servants a flame of fire” (Psalm 104:4). 8 Towards the Son, however, “Your throne, O God, continues into the season of the age, and the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have loved justice and hated lawlessness; because of this, God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of ecstatic delight along with those who partake with You” (Psalm 45:6-7). 10 And You, Lord, according to the source, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Your hands. 11 They will perish [b); You, however, remain all the way through. Like a garment, all become obsolete, and like a covering, 12 You will roll them up, and they will be changed. You, however, are the same, and Your years will never cease (Psalm 102:25-27). 13 Moreover, to which of the angels did He ever say, “Sit out from My right hand, until I place Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet?” (Psalm 110:1). • 14 Are they not all serving spirits, being sent forth into service through those about to inherit salvation? |
