1:1 In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

1:2 But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations; 1:3 Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven; 1:4 Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs. 1:5 To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

1:6 And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame a fire: 1:8 but of the Son `he saith,' Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands: 1:11 They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 1:12 And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.
