Hebrews 1

1 He sheweth the excellency of Christ 4 Above the Angels, 7 And of their office.
1.At sundry times and in divers manners aGod spake in the old time to our fathers by the Prophets:
2.In these blast days he hath spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath made heir of all things, cby whom also he made the worlds,
3.*Who being the brightness of the glory, and the dengraved form of his person, and bearing up all things by his mighty word, hath by him self epurged our sins, and sitteth at the right hand of the majesty in the highest places,
4.And is made so much more excellent then the fAngels in as much as he hath obtained a more excellent name than they.
5.For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, *Thou art my Son, gthis day begate I thee? and again, I *will be his Father, and he shalbe my son?
6.And again when he bringeth in his first begotten Son into the world, he saith, *And let all the Angels of God worship him.
7.And of the Angels he saith, *He maketh the hSpirits his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire. The Ebrewes
8.But unto the Son he saith, *O God, thy throne is for ever and ever: the iscepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.
9.Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity. Wherefore God, even thy God, hath kanointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10.And, *Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands.
11.They shall perish, but thou doest remain: and they all shall wax old as doeth a garment.
12.And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, & they shalbe changed: but thou art the same & thy years shall not fail.
13.Unto which also of the Angels said he at any time, *Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy foot stool?
14.Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heirs of salvation?
