Gods Final Word in His Son
1God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
2in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.
3And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.
5For to which of the angels did He ever say,
Y
OU ARE M
Y S
ON,
T
ODAY I
HAVE BEGOTTEN Y
OU?
And again,
I
WILL BE A F
ATHER TO H
IM A
ND H
E SHALL BE A S
ON TO M
E?
6And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
A
ND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF G
OD WORSHIP H
IM.
7And of the angels He says,
W
HO MAKES H
IS ANGELS WINDS,
A
ND H
IS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE.
8But of the Son
He says, Y
OUR THRONE, O
G
OD,
IS FOREVER AND EVER,
A
ND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF H
IS KINGDOM.
9Y
OU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS;
T
HEREFORE G
OD, Y
OUR G
OD,
HAS ANOINTED Y
OU W
ITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE Y
OUR COMPANIONS.
10And,
Y
OU, L
ORD,
IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH,
A
ND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF Y
OUR HANDS;
11T
HEY WILL PERISH,
BUT Y
OU REMAIN;
A
ND THEY ALL WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT,
12A
ND LIKE A MANTLE Y
OU WILL ROLL THEM UP;
L
IKE A GARMENT THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED.
B
UT Y
OU ARE THE SAME,
A
ND Y
OUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END.
13But to which of the angels has He ever said,
S
IT AT M
Y RIGHT HAND,
U
NTIL I
MAKE Y
OUR ENEMIES A
FOOTSTOOL FOR Y
OUR FEET?
14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
