(KJV) Hebrews 1¹

⥃The Supremacy of the Son ^{[ Colossians 1:15–23 ]}

[1] God, who at² sundry times and in³ divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers⁴ by the prophets, [2] Hath in these⁵ last days spoken⁶ unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed⁷ heir of all things, by whom⁸ also he made the worlds; [3] Who being the brightness⁹ of [his] glory, and the express image¹⁰ of his person, and upholding¹¹ all things by the word¹² of his power, when he had by himself¹³ purged our sins, sat¹⁴ down on the right hand of the Majesty¹⁵ on high; [4] Being made so¹⁶ much better than the angels, as he hath by¹⁷ inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. [5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou¹⁸ art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will¹⁹ be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? [6] And again²⁰, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let²¹ all the angels of God worship him. [7] And of²² the angels he saith, Who²³ maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. [8] But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne²⁴, O God²⁵, [is] for²⁶ ever and ever: a sceptre²⁷ of righteousness²⁸ [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. [9] Thou hast loved²⁹ righteousness, and hated³⁰ iniquity; therefore God, [even] thy God³¹, hath anointed³² thee with the oil³³ of gladness above thy fellows³⁴. [10] And, Thou³⁵, Lord, in³⁶ the beginning hast³⁷ laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works³⁸ of thine hands: [11] They shall perish³⁹; but thou⁴⁰ remainest; and they all shall wax⁴¹ old as doth a garment; [12] And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but⁴² thou art the same, and thy⁴³ years shall not fail. [13] But to⁴⁴ which of the angels said he at any time, Sit⁴⁵ on my right hand, until⁴⁶ I make thine enemies thy footstool? [14] Are they not all ministering⁴⁷ spirits, sent⁴⁸ forth to minister⁴⁹ for them who shall be heirs⁵⁰ of salvation?
