Hebrews 1

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,	1 In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through 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;	2 lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world.
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;	3 And since the Son is the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and is carrying all things by the Word of his virtue, thereby accomplishing a purging of sins, he sits at the right hand of Majesty on high.
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.	4 And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs.
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?	5 For to which of the Angels has he ever said: “You are my Son; today have I begotten you?” Or again: “I will be a Father to him, and he shall be a Son to me?”
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.	6 And again, when he brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore him.”
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.	7 And about the Angels, certainly, he says: “He makes 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.	8 But about the Son: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of equity.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.	9 You have loved justice, and you have hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation, above your companions.”
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:	10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;	11 These shall pass away, but you will remain. And all will grow old like 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.	12 And you will change them like a cloak, and they shall be changed. Yet you are ever the same, and your years will not diminish.”
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?	13 But to which of the Angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?”
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?	14 Are they not all spirits of ministration, sent to minister for the sake of those who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
