Chapter 1
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2Hath 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;
3Who 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;
4Being made so much better than the
angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5For 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?
6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into
the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7And of
the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame
of fire.
8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God,
is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the
sceptre of thy kingdom.
9Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated
iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the
oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning
hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine
hands:
11They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax
old as doth a garment;
12And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and
they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13But to which of the angels said he at any times, Sit on my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14Are they not all ministering
spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
