The Epistle to the
Hebrews
CHAPTER 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 times, 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?
CHAPTER 2
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any
time we should let
them
slip.
2
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression
and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3
How shall we escape, if we neglect so
great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by
