Hebrews 1

New American Standard Bible

God’s Final Word in His Son

1 God, after He ^(A)spoke long ago to the fathers in ^(B)the prophets in many portions and ^(C)in many ways, ²^[a]^(D)in these last days ^(E)has spoken to us ^[b]in His ^(F)Son, whom He appointed ^(G)heir of all things, ^(H)through whom He also made the ^[c]^(I)world. ³^[d]And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact ^(J)representation of His nature, and ^[e]^(K)upholds all things by ^[f]the word of His power. When He had made ^(L)purification of sins, He ^(M)sat down at the right hand of the ^(N)Majesty on high, ⁴having become so much better than the angels, to the extent that He has inherited a more excellent ^(O)name than they.

⁵For to which of the angels did He ever say,

“^(P)You are My Son,
Today I have fathered You”?

And again,

“^(Q)I will be a Father to Him
And He will be a Son to Me”?

⁶And ^[g]when He again ^(R)brings the firstborn into ^[h]^(S)the world, He says,

“^(T)And let all the angels of God worship Him.”

⁷And regarding the angels He says,

“^(U)He makes His angels winds,
And His ministers a flame of fire.”

⁸But regarding the Son He says,

“^(V)Your throne, God, is forever and ever,
And the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of ^[i]His kingdom.
⁹^(W)You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
^(X)Therefore God, Your God, has ^(Y)anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.”

¹⁰And,

“^(Z)You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
¹¹^(AA)They will perish, but You remain;
^(AB)And they all will ^[j]wear out like a garment,
¹²^(AC)And like a robe You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are ^(AD)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.”

¹³But to which of the angels has He ever said,

“^(AE)Sit at My right hand,
^(AF)Until I make Your enemies
A footstool for Your feet”?

¹⁴Are they not all ^(AG)ministering spirits, sent out to provide service for the sake of those who will ^(AH)inherit ^(AI)salvation?

A New Heaven and Earth

¹⁰But ^(A)the day of the Lord ^(B)will come like a thief, in which ^(C)the heavens ^(D)will pass away with a roar and the ^(E)elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and ^(F)the earth and ^[a]its works will be ^[b]discovered.

¹¹Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, ¹²^(G)looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which ^(H)the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the ^(I)elements will melt with intense heat! ¹³But according to His ^(J)promise we are looking for ^(K)new heavens and a new earth, ^(L)in which righteousness dwells.
