ESV

NIV

NLT

1	Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets.
2	And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.
3	The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.
4	This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.
5	For God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus: “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father. ” God also said, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son.”
6	And when he brought his firstborn Son into the world, God said, “Let all of God's angels worship him.”
7	Regarding the angels, he says, “He sends his angels like the winds, his servants like flames of fire.”
8	But to the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice.
9	You love justice and hate evil. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.“
10	He also says to the Son, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.
11	They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing.
12	You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever.“
13	And God never said to any of the angels, “Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.”
14	Therefore, angels are only servants– spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.

1	Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,
2	but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
3	He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4	having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5	For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?
6	And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God's angels worship him.”
7	Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his ministers 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 wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.“
10	And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11	they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment,
12	like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.“
13	And to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
14	Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

1	In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2	but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
3	The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
4	So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
5	For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father ”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?
6	And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God's angels worship him.”
7	In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire.”
8	But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9	You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.“
10	He also says, “In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11	They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12	You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.“
13	To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
14	Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

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 time, 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?
