神在末世借他儿子晓谕世人

神既在古时借着众先知多次多方地晓谕列祖, 就在这末世借着他儿子晓谕我们;又早已立他为承受万有的,也曾借着他创造诸世界。 他是神荣耀所发的光辉,是神本体的真像,常用他权能的命令托住万有。他洗净了人的罪,就坐在高天至大者的右边。 他所承受的名既比天使的名更尊贵,就远超过天使。 所有的天使,神从来对哪一个说“你是我的儿子,我今日生你”?又指着哪一个说“我要做他的父,他要做我的子”? 再者,神使长子到世上来的时候[a],就说:“神的使者都要拜他。” 论到使者,又说:“神以风为使者,以火焰为仆役。” 论到子却说:“神啊,你的宝座是永永远远的,你的国权是正直的。 你喜爱公义,恨恶罪恶,所以神,就是你的神,用喜乐油膏你,胜过膏你的同伴。”

天地都要灭没唯主永远长存

10 又说:“主啊,你起初立了地的根基,天也是你手所造的。 11 天地都要灭没,你却要长存;天地都要像衣服渐渐旧了。 12 你要将天地卷起来,像一件外衣,天地就都改变了;唯有你永不改变,你的年数没有穷尽。” 13 所有的天使,神从来对哪一个说“你坐在我的右边,等我使你仇敌做你的脚凳”? 14 天使岂不都是服役的灵,奉差遣为那将要承受救恩的人效力吗?

  1. 希伯来书 1:6 或作:神再使长子到世上来的时候。

God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,

at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,

taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.

For to which of the angels said he ever, *Thou* art my Son: this day have *I* begotten thee? and again, *I* will be to him for father, and *he* shall be to me for son?

and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him.

And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire;

but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.

10 And, *Thou* in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.

11 They shall perish, but *thou* continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment,

12 and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but *thou* art the Same, and thy years shall not fail.

13 But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation?

God’s Final Word: His Son

In the past God spoke(A) to our ancestors through the prophets(B) at many times and in various ways,(C) but in these last days(D) he has spoken to us by his Son,(E) whom he appointed heir(F) of all things, and through whom(G) also he made the universe.(H) The Son is the radiance of God’s glory(I) and the exact representation of his being,(J) sustaining all things(K) by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins,(L) he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.(M) So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.(N)

The Son Superior to Angels

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son;
    today I have become your Father”[a]?(O)

Or again,

“I will be his Father,
    and he will be my Son”[b]?(P)

And again, when God brings his firstborn(Q) into the world,(R) he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[c](S)

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.”[d](T)

But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(U)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions(V)
    by anointing you with the oil(W) of joy.”[e](X)

10 He also says,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.(Y)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.(Z)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,(AA)
    and your years will never end.”[f](AB)

13 To which of the angels did God ever say,

“Sit at my right hand(AC)
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool(AD) for your feet”[g]?(AE)

14 Are not all angels ministering spirits(AF) sent to serve those who will inherit(AG) salvation?(AH)
