Hebrews Chapter 1

Heb 1:1 God, who in ancient days spoke to our forefathers in many distinct messages and by various methods through the Prophets,
Heb 1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us through a Son, who is the pre-destined Lord of the universe, and through whom He made the Ages.
Heb 1:3 He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being, and upholds the universe by His all-powerful word. After securing man's purification from sin He took His seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Heb 1:4 having become as far superior to the angels as the Name He possesses by inheritance is more excellent than theirs.
Heb 1:5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "MY SON ART THOU: I HAVE THIS DAY BECOME THY FATHER;" and again, "I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM, AND HE SHALL BE MY SON"?
Heb 1:6 But speaking of the time when He once more brings His Firstborn into the world, He says, "AND LET ALL GOD'S ANGELS WORSHIP HIM."
Heb 1:7 Moreover of the angels He says, "HE CHANGES HIS ANGELS INTO WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERING SERVANTS INTO A FLAME OF FIRE."
Heb 1:8 But of His Son, He says, "THY THRONE, O GOD, IS FOR EVER AND FOR EVER, AND THE SCEPTRE OF THY KINGDOM IS A SCEPTRE OF ABSOLUTE JUSTICE.
Heb 1:9 THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, THY GOD, HAS ANOINTED THEE WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS BEYOND THY COMPANIONS."
Heb 1:10 It is also of His Son that God says, "THOU, O LORD, IN THE BEGINNING DIDST LAY THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORK OF THY HANDS.
Heb 1:11 THE HEAVENS WILL PERISH, BUT THOU REMAINEST; AND THEY WILL ALL GROW OLD LIKE A GARMENT,
Heb 1:12 AND, AS THOUGH THEY WERE A MANTLE THOU WILT ROLL THEM UP; YES, LIKE A GARMENT, AND THEY WILL UNDERGO CHANGE. BUT THOU ART THE SAME, AND THY YEARS WILL NEVER COME TO AN END."
Heb 1:13 To which of the angels has He ever said, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND TILL I MAKE THY FOES A FOOTSTOOL FOR THY FEET"?
Heb 1:14 Are not all angels spirits that serve Him—whom He sends out to render service for the benefit of those who, before long, will inherit salvation?
