Book 58 Hebrews

58:001:001 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

58:001:002 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;

58:001:003 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:

58:001:004 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

58:001:005 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?

58:001:006 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

58:001:007 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

58:001:008 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.

58:001:009 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

58:001:010 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

58:001:011 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

58:001:012 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.

58:001:013 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

58:001:014 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

58:002:001 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.

58:002:002 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

58:002:003 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 them that heard him;

58:002:004 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

58:002:005 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

58:002:006 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?

58:002:007 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

58:002:008 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

58:002:009 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

58:002:010 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

58:002:011 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

58:002:012 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
