1 God, who formerly spoke in many portions and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets, spoke to us in these last days by a Son,

2 whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages.

3 Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the

4 Having become so much better than the heavenly agents, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.

5 For to which of the heavenly agents did he ever say, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for a Father, and he will be to me for a Son?

6 And again when he brings the firstborn into the world he says, And let all the agents of God worship him.

7 And indeed toward the heavenly agents he says, He who makes his agents spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

8 But toward the Son, Thy throne, O God, is into the age of the age. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of straightness.

9 Thou have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

10 And thou, Lord, at the beginnings founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

11 They will perish, but thou are permanent. And they will all become old as a garment.

12 And thou will roll them up as a mantle, and they will be changed. But thou are the same, and thy years will not cease.

13 But to which of the heavenly agents has he ever said, Sit thou by my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?

1 God in tyme past diversly and many wayes spake vnto the fathers by Prophetes:

2 but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his sonne whom he hath made heyre of all thinges: by who also he made the worlde.

3 Which sonne beynge the brightnes of his glory and very ymage of his substance bearinge vp all thinges with the worde of his power hath in his awne person pourged oure synnes and is sitten on the right honde of the maiestie an hye

4 and is more excellent then the angels in as moche as he hath by inheritaunce obteyned an excellenter name then have they.

5 For vnto which of the angels sayde he ateny tyme: Thou arte my sonne this daye be gate I the? And agayne: I will be his father and he shalbe my sonne.

6 And agayne whe he bringeth in the fyrst begotten sonne in to the worlde he sayth: And all the angels of God shall worshippe him.

7 And of the angels he sayth: He maketh his angels spretes and his ministres flammes of fyre.

8 But vnto the sonne he sayth: God thy seate shalbe forever and ever. The cepter of thy kyngdome is a right cepter.

9 Thou hast loved rightewesnes and hated iniquyte. Wherfore God which is thy God hath anoynted the with ye oyle of gladnes above thy felowes.

10 And thou Lorde in the begynninge hast layde the foundacion of the erth. And the heves are the workes of thy hondes.

11 They shall perisshe but thou shalt endure. They all shall wexe olde as doth a garment:

12 and as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them and they shalbe chaunged. But thou arte all wayes and thy yeres shall not fayle.

13 Vnto which of the angels sayde he at eny tyme? Sit on my ryght honde tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.

14 Are they not all mynistrynge spretes sent to minister for their sakes which shalbe heyres of salvacion?
