Chapter 1
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 ?
