Hebrews 1:3-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
3And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4having become so much better than the angels, to the extent that He has inherited a more excellent name than they.
6And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, 'AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF God WORSHIP HIM.'
7And regarding the angels He says, 'HE MAKES HIS ANGELS WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE.'
8But regarding the Son He says, 'YOUR THRONE, God, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM.
9YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE God, YOUR God, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF JOY ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS.'
10And, 'YOU, Lord, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;
11THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY ALL WILL WEAR OUT LIKE A GARMENT,
12AND LIKE A ROBE YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP; LIKE A GARMENT THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED. BUT YOU ARE THE SAME, AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END.'
King James Version
Chapter 1
3Who 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; 4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

Chapter 1
3The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of his nature, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. 4So he became superior to the angels, just as the name he inherited is more excellent than theirs.
8but to the Son: Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; this is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy beyond your companions.
10And: In the beginning, Lord, you established the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain. They will all wear out like clothing;
12 you will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like clothing. But you are the same, and your years will never end.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
3The 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. 4This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.
8But to the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice.
9You 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.'
10He also says to the Son, 'In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.
11They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing.
12You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
3He 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, 4having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."
10And, "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment,
12like 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."
13And to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?
New International Version
Chapter 1
3The 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. 4So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
8But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."
10He also says, "In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12You 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."

10And: “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment;
12Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.”
