Hebrews Chapter 1

American Standard Version

1GodG2316, having of old time spokenG2980 unto the fathersG3962 in the prophetsG4396 by divers portions and in divers manners, 2hath at the end of these daysG2250 spokenG2980 unto us in his SonG5207, whom he appointedG5087 heirG2818 of all thingsG3956, through whom alsoG2532 he madeG4160 the worlds; 3who beingG1510 the effulgence of his gloryG1391, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all thingsG3956 by the word of his powerG1411, when he had madeG4160 purificationG2512 of sinsG266, satG2523 downG2523 on the rightG1188 handG1188 of the MajestyG3172 on highG5308; 4having becomeG1096 by soG5118 muchG3745 better than the angelsG32, as he hath inheritedG2816 a moreG1313 excellentG1313 nameG3686 than they. 5For unto which of the angelsG32 saidG3004 he at any timeG4218,

Thou art my SonG5207,This dayG4594 have I begotten thee?

and againG3825,

I will beG1510 to him a FatherG3962,And he shall beG1510 to me a SonG5207?

6And whenG3752 he againG3825 bringeth in the firstbornG4416 into the worldG3625 he saith, And let all the angelsG32 of GodG2316 worshipG4352 him. 7And of the angelsG32 he saith,

Who maketh his angelsG32 winds,And his ministersG3011 a flameG5395 of fireG4442:

8but of the SonG5207he saith,

Thy throneG2362, O GodG2316, is for ever and ever;And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdomG932.9Thou hast lovedG25 righteousnessG1343, and hatedG3404 iniquityG93;Therefore GodG2316, thy GodG2316, hath anointedG5548 theeWith the oilG1637 of gladnessG20 above thy fellows.

10And,

Thou, LordG2962, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earthG1093,And the heavensG3772 areG1510 the worksG2041 of thy handsG5495:11They shall perishG622; but thou continuest:And they all shall wax oldG3822 as doth a garmentG2440;12And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up,As a garmentG2440, and they shall beG1510 changedG236:But thou art the sameG846,And thy yearsG2094 shall not failG1587.

13But of which of the angelsG32 hath he saidG3004 at any timeG4218,

SitG2521 thou on my rightG1188 handG1188,Till I make thine enemiesG2190 the footstoolG5286 of thy feetG4228?

14AreG1510 they not all ministering spiritsG4151, sentG649 forthG649 to do serviceG1248 for the sakeG1223 of them that shall inheritG2816 salvationG4991?
