1:1 In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets, 1:2 in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; 1:3 who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might--through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,  1:4 having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they. 1:5 For to which of the messengers said He ever, `My Son thou art--I to-day have begotten thee' and again, `I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son' 1:6 and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, `And let them bow before him--all messengers of God;' 1:7 and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, `Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;' 1:8 and unto the Son: `Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy reign; 1:9 thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee--God, thy God--with oil of gladness above thy partners;' 1:10 and, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens; 1:11 these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old, 1:12 and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.' 1:13 And unto which of the messengers said He ever, `Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool' 1:14 are they not all spirits of service--for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation
