Hebrews 1
God Has Spoken by His
Son |
1 |
God, who at sundry times and in divers
manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets,
|
2 |
hath 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;
|
3 |
who 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;
|
4 |
being made so much better than the
angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name
than they.
|
The Son Superior to
Angels |
5 |
For unto which of the angels said he at
any time,
|
Thou art my Son, |
this day have I begotten thee Ps.
2.7 ? |
And again, |
I will be to him a Father, |
and he shall be to me a Son 2 Sam.

17.13 ? |
|
|
6 |
And again, when he bringeth in the
first-begotten into the world, he saith,
|
7 |
And of the angels he saith,
|
Who maketh his angels spirits, |
and his ministers a flame of fire. Ps.
104.4 |
|
|
8 |
But unto the Son he saith,
|
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and
ever: |
a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of
thy
kingdom. |
|
|
9 |
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated
iniquity;
|
therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed
thee |
with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Ps.
45.6, 7 |
|
|
10 |
And,
|
Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the
foundation of the earth; |
and the heavens are the works of thine
hands. |
|
|
11 |
They shall perish, but thou
remainest:
|
and they all shall wax old as doth a
garment; |
|
|
12 |
and as a vesture shalt thou fold them
up,
|
and they shall be changed: |
but thou art the same, |
and thy years shall not fail. Ps.
102.25-27 |
|
|
13 |
But to which of the angels said he at any
time,
|
Sit on my right hand, |
until I make thine enemies thy footstool Ps.
110.1 ? |
|
|
14 |
Are they not all ministering spirits,
sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of
salvation?
