The Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the HEBREWS CHAPTER I.

[ 1 The essential dignity of the Son, by whom God hath revealed himself in 
these last days: 4 his pre-eminence above the angels in office.]


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 spoke 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. 
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any 
time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten
thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and 
he shall be to me a Son? 
6 And again, when he bringeth in the first-
begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the 
angels of God worship him. 
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his 
angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 
8 But unto the Son, he saith, Thy throne, O God, 
is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness, and hated
iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 
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 are the same, 
and thy years shall not fail. 
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time,
Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies 
thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth 
to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
