Hebrews 1
American Standard Version
1 God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, 2 hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [a]his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the [b]worlds; 3 who being the effulgence of his glory, and [c]the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time,
[d]Thou art my Son,
This day have I begotten thee?
and again,
[e]I will be to him a Father,
And he shall be to me a Son?
6 [f]And when he again [g]bringeth in the firstborn into [h]the world he saith, [i]And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith,
[j]Who maketh his angels winds,
And his ministers a flame of fire:
8 but of the Son he saith,
[k][l]Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever;
And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of [m]thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee
With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And,
[n]Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of thy hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou continuest:
And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
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.
13 But of which of the angels hath he said at any time,
[o]Sit thou on my right hand,
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?

Hebrews 1
King James Version
1 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 spoken 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 firstbegotten 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 is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved 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 art 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?
Hebrews 1
Revised Geneva Translation
1 Long ago, at various times and in diverse ways, God spoke to our fathers by the Prophets. In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son,
2 Whom He has made heir of all things. Through Whom He also made the world.
3 He, being the brightness of the Glory and the engraved form of His person and bearing up all things by His mighty Word, has purged our sins through Himself. And He sits at the right hand of the Majesty in the Highest Places.
4 And He is made so much more excellent than the angels, inasmuch as He has obtained a more excellent Name than they.
5 For to which of the angels has He said at any time, “You are My Son. This day I begat You.”? And again, “I will be His Father, and He shall be My Son.”?
6 And again, when He brings in His first begotten Son into the world, He says, “And let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels, He says, “He makes the spirits His messengers, and His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son, He says, “O God, Your throne is forever and ever. The scepter of Your Kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.
9 “You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity. Therefore God - even Your God - has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your associates.”10 And, “You, Lord, established the Earth in the beginning. And the heavens are the works of Your hands.
11 “They shall perish, but You remain. And they all shall grow old, as does a garment.
12 “And as a cloak, You shall fold them up. And they shall be changed. But You are the same. And Your years shall not fail.”
13 Also, to which of the angels has He said at any time, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the sakes of those who shall be heirs of salvation?
