1. In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets many times and in many different ways.
|
1. God G2316 who at sundry times G4181 and G2532 in divers manners G4187 spake G2980 in time past G3819 unto the G3588 fathers G3962 by G1722 the G3588 prophets G4396 ,
|
|
2. But now in these last days God has spoken to us through his Son. God has chosen his Son to own all things, and through him he made the world.
|
2. Hath in G1909 these G5130 last G2078 days G2250 spoken G2980 unto us G2254 by G1722 his Son G5207 , whom G3739 he hath appointed G5087 heir G2818 of all things G3956 , by G1223 whom G3739 also G2532 he made G4160 the G3588 worlds G165 ;
|
|
3. The Son reflects the glory of God and shows exactly what God is like. He holds everything together with his powerful word. When the Son made people clean from their sins, he sat down at the right side of God, the Great One in heaven.
|
3. Who G3739 being G5607 the brightness G541 of his glory G1391 , and G2532 the express image G5481 of his G848 person G5287 , and G5037 upholding G5342 all things G3956 by the G3588 word G4487 of his G846 power G1411 , when he had by G1223 himself G1438 purged G4160 G2512 our G2257 sins G266 , sat down G2523 on G1722 the right hand G1188 of the G3588 Majesty G3172 on G1722 high G5308 ;
|
|
4. The Son became much greater than the angels, and God gave him a name that is much greater than theirs.
|
4. Being made G1096 so much G5118 better G2909 than the G3588 angels G32 , as G3745 he hath by inheritance obtained G2816 a more excellent G1313 name G3686 than G3844 they G846 .
|
|
5. This is because God never said to any of the angels, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father." Nor did God say of any angel, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son."
|
5. For G1063 unto which G5101 of the G3588 angels G32 said G2036 he at any time G4218 , Thou G4771 art G1488 my G3450 son G5207 , this day G4594 have I G1473 begotten G1080 thee G4571 ? And G2532 again G3825 , I G1473 will be G2071 to him G846 a G1519 Father G3962 , and G2532 he G846 shall be G2071 to me G3427 a G1519 Son G5207 ?
|
|
6. And when God brings his firstborn Son into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."
|
6. And G1161 again G3825 , when G3752 he bringeth in G1521 the G3588 first begotten G4416 into G1519 the G3588 world G3625 , he saith G3004 , And G2532 let all G3956 the angels G32 of God G2316 worship G4352 him G846 .
|
|
7. This is what God said about the angels: "God makes his angels become like winds. He makes his servants become like flames of fire."
|
7. And G2532 of the angels G4314 G3588 G32 he saith G3004 , Who maketh G4160 his G848 angels G32 spirits G4151 , and G2532 his G848 ministers G3011 a flame G5395 of fire G4442 .
|
|
8. But God said this about his Son: "God, your throne will last forever and ever. You will rule your kingdom with fairness.
|
8. But G1161 unto G4314 the G3588 Son G5207 he saith, Thy G4675 throne G2362 , O God G2316 , is forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 : a scepter G4464 of righteousness G2118 is the G3588 scepter G4464 of thy G4675 kingdom G932 .
|
|
9. You love right and hate evil, so God has chosen you from among your friends; he has set you apart with much joy."
|
9. Thou hast loved G25 righteousness G1343 , and G2532 hated G3404 iniquity G458 ; therefore G1223 G5124 God G2316 , even thy G4675 God G2316 , hath anointed G5548 thee G4571 with the oil G1637 of gladness G20 above G3844 thy G4675 fellows G3353 .
|
|
10. God also says, "Lord, in the beginning you made the earth, and your hands made the skies.
|
10. And G2532 , Thou G4771 , Lord G2962 , in G2596 the beginning G746 hast laid the foundation G2311 of the G3588 earth G1093 ; and G2532 the G3588 heavens G3772 are G1526 the works G2041 of thine G4675 hands G5495 :
|
|
11. They will be destroyed, but you will remain. They will all wear out like clothes.
|
11. They G846 shall perish G622 ; but G1161 thou G4771 remainest G1265 ; and G2532 they all G3956 shall wax old G3822 as G5613 doth a garment G2440 ;
|
|
12. You will fold them like a coat. And, like clothes, you will change them. But you never change, and your life will never end."
|
12. And G2532 as G5616 a vesture G4018 shalt thou fold them up G1667 G846 , and G2532 they shall be changed G236 : but G1161 thou G4771 art G1488 the G3588 same G846 , and G2532 thy G4675 years G2094 shall not G3756 fail G1587 .
|
|
13. And God never said this to an angel: "Sit by me at my right side until I put your enemies under your control."
|
13. But G1161 to G4314 which G5101 of the G3588 angels G32 said G2046 he at any time G4218 , Sit G2521 on G1537 my G3450 right hand G1188 , until G2193 G302 I make G5087 thine G4675 enemies G2190 thy footstool G5286 G4675 G4228 ?
|
|
14. All the angels are spirits who serve God and are sent to help those who will receive salvation.
|
14. Are G1526 they not G3780 all G3956 ministering G3010 spirits G4151 , sent forth G649 to minister G1519 G1248 for G1223 them who shall be G3195 heirs G2816 of salvation G4991 ?
