Hebrews 1:1-6 GNB In the past God spoke to our ancestors many times and in many ways through the prophets, (2) but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one through whom God created the universe, the one whom God has chosen to possess all things at the end. (3) He reflects the brightness of God's glory and is the exact likeness of God's own being, sustaining the universe with his powerful word. After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power. (4) The Son was made greater than the angels, just as the name that God gave him is greater than theirs. (5) For God never said to any of his angels, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father." Nor did God say about any angel, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son." (6) But when God was about to send his first-born Son into the world, he said, "All of God's angels must worship him."
Hebrews 1:1-6 GW In the past God spoke to our ancestors at many different times and in many different ways through the prophets. (2) In these last days he has spoken to us through his Son. God made his Son responsible for everything. His Son is the one through whom God made the universe. (3) His Son is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of God's being. He holds everything together through his powerful words. After he had cleansed people from their sins, he received the highest position, the one next to the Father in heaven. (4) The Son has become greater than the angels since he has been given a name that is superior to theirs. (5) God never said to any of his angels, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father." And God never said to any of his angels, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son." (6) When God was about to send his firstborn Son into the world, he said, "All of God's angels must worship him."
Hebrews 1:1-6 ESV 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."
Hebrews 1:1-6 CEV Long ago in many ways and at many times God's prophets spoke his message to our ancestors. (2) But now at last, God sent his Son to bring his message to us. God created the universe by his Son, and everything will someday belong to the Son. (3) God's Son has all the brightness of God's own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together. After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side of the glorious God in heaven. (4) He had become much greater than the angels, and the name he was given is far greater than any of theirs. (5) God has never said to any of the angels, "You are my Son, because today I have become your Father!" Neither has God said to any of them, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son!" (6) When God brings his first-born Son into the world, he commands all of his angels to worship him.
