Hebrews 1 (WEBP)
[1] God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
[2] has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
[3] His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
[4] having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
[5] For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?”† “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”†
[6] When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”†
[7] Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”†
[8] But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
[9] You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.Ӡ
[10] And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
[11] They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
[12] You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”†
[13] But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”†
[14] Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Hebrews 1 (KJVS)
[1] God G2316, who at sundry times G4181 and G2532 in divers manners G4187 spake G2980 (AorActPtc) in time past G3819 unto the fathers G3962 by G1722 the prophets G4396,
[2] Hath G2980 in G1909 these G5130 last G2078 days G2250 spoken G2980 (AorActInd) unto us G2254 by G1722 [his] Son G5207, whom G3739 he hath appointed G5087 (AorActInd) heir G2818 of all things G3956, by G1223 whom G3739 also G2532 he made G4160 (AorActInd) the worlds G165;
[3] Who G3739 being G5607 (PresPtc) the brightness G541 of [his] glory G1391, and G2532 the express image G5481 of his G846 person G5287, and G5037 upholding G5342 (PresActPtc) all things G3956 by the word G4487 of his G846 power G1411, when he had G4160 G2512 by G1223 himself G1438 purged G4160 (AorMidPtc) G2512 our G2257 sins G266, sat down G2523 (AorActInd) on G1722 the right hand G1188 of the Majesty G3172 on G1722 high G5308;
[4] Being made G1096 (Aor2MidDepPtc) so much G5118 better than G2909 the angels G32, as G3745 he hath by inheritance obtained G2816 (PerfActInd) a more excellent G1313 name G3686 than G3844 they G846.
[5] For G1063 unto which G5101 of the angels G32 said he G2036 (Aor2ActInd) at any time G4218, Thou G4771 art G1488 (PresInd) my G3450 Son G5207, this day G4594 have G1080 I G1473 begotten G1080 (PerfActInd) thee G4571? And G2532 again G3825, I G1473 will be G2071 (FutInd) to G1519 him G846 a Father G3962, and G2532 he G846 shall be G2071 (FutInd) to G1519 me G3427 a Son G5207?
[6] And G1161 again G3825, when G3752 he bringeth in G1521 (Aor2ActSubj) the firstbegotten G4416 into G1519 the world G3625, he saith G3004 (PresActInd), And G2532 let G4352 all G3956 the angels G32 of God G2316 worship G4352 (AorActImpr) him G846.
[7] And G2532 of G4314 G3303 the angels G32 he saith G3004 (PresActInd), Who maketh G4160 (PresActPtc) his G846 angels G32 spirits G4151, and G2532 his G846 ministers G3011 a flame G5395 of fire G4442.
[8] But G1161 unto G4314 the Son G5207 [he saith], Thy G4675 throne G2362, O God G2316, [is] for G1519 ever G165 and ever G165: a sceptre G4464 of righteousness G2118 [is] the sceptre G4464 of thy G4675 kingdom G932.
[9] Thou hast loved G25 (AorActInd) righteousness G1343, and G2532 hated G3404 (AorActInd) iniquity G458; therefore G1223 G5124 God G2316, [even] thy G4675 God G2316, hath anointed G5548 (AorActInd) thee G4571 with the oil G1637 of gladness G20 above G3844 thy G4675 fellows G3353.
[10] And G2532, Thou G4771, Lord G2962, in G2596 the beginning G746 hast laid the foundation G2311 (AorActInd) of the earth G1093; and G2532 the heavens G3772 are G1526 (PresInd) the works G2041 of thine G4675 hands G5495:
[11] They G846 shall perish G622 (FutMidInd); but G1161 thou G4771 remainest G1265 (PresActInd); and G2532 they all G3956 shall wax old G3822 (FutPasInd) as G5613 doth a garment G2440;
[12] And G2532 as G5616 a vesture G4018 shalt thou fold G1667 them G846 up G1667 (FutActInd), and G2532 they shall be changed G236 (Fut2PasInd): but G1161 thou G4771 art G1488 (PresInd) the same G846, and G2532 thy G4675 years G2094 shall G1587 not G3756 fail G1587 (FutActInd).
[13] But G1161 to G4314 which G5101 of the angels G32 said he G2046 (PerfActInd) at any time G4218, Sit G2521 (PresMidPasDepImpr) on G1537 my G3450 right hand G1188, until G302 G2193 I make G5087 (Aor2ActSubj) thine G4675 enemies G2190 thy G4675 footstool G5286 G4228?
[14] Are they G1526 (PresInd) not G3780 all G3956 ministering G3010 spirits G4151, sent forth G649 (PresPasPtc) to G1519 minister G1248 for G1223 them who shall G3195 (PresActPtc) be heirs of G2816 (PresActInf) salvation G4991?
Young’s Literal Translation
Hebrews 1 (YLT)
[1] In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
[2] in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;
[3] who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might-through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
[4] having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.
[5] For to which of the messengers said He ever, ‘My Son thou art-I to-day have begotten thee?’ and again, ‘I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?’
[6] and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, ‘And let them bow before him-all messengers of God;’
[7] and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, ‘Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;’
[8] and unto the Son: ‘Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy reign;
[9] thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee-God, thy God-with oil of gladness above thy partners;’
[10] and, ‘Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;
[11] these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,
[12] and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.’
[13] And unto which of the messengers said He ever, ‘Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?’
[14] are they not all spirits of service-for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
