Hebrews 1
Reading Hebrews chapter 1 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,
2 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;
3 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,
4 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.
5 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?
6 and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let allGod's angels worship him.
7 And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire;
8 but as to the Son, Thy throne, OGod, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; thereforeGod, thyGod, 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.
