This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
1:1 The son represents God’s splendour
1 Long ago, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets in many different circumstances and in many different ways, 2 but in these last days he spoke to us through his son who he appointed to inherit everything. It was also through him that he made the different eras—3 through the son who radiates the father’s splendour and represents his reality. The son bears everything by the message of his power, and after having made a way to be purified from our sins, he sat down in heaven next to God in the seat of the second-in-command.
1:4 The son is greater than the angels
4 By having become so much better than God’s messengers, he inherited a greater reputation than them, 5 because which of the messengers was told even once by God:[ref]
‘You are my son;
I gave birth to you today.’
And again:
‘I will be a father to him,
And he will be a son to me.’
6 Then when God brings his firstborn son into the world he said:[ref]
‘Let all of God’s messengers bow down to him.’
7 On one hand he said to his messengers:[ref]
‘The one making his messengers winds,
and making his ministers a fiery flame.’
8 And on the other hand to his son he said:[ref]
‘God, your throne will last to the end of the ages;
The ruler of his kingdom is a ruler of justice.
9 You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness,
because of this, God, your God, honoured you
with gladness beyond what your companions received.’
10 He also said to his son:[ref]
‘Master, at the beginning you established the earth,
and you made the heavens with your hands.
11 They will perish but you will continue;
They will wear out like clothes do.
12 You will roll them up like a discarded dressing gown;
they’ll be changed like we change our clothes.
But you remain the same,
and you won’t get old and fragile.’
13 To which of his messengers did God say even once:[ref]
‘Sit in the seat of honour on my right,
until I can defeat your enemies
and use them as a stool for my feet’?
14 See, those messengers are just ministering spirits sent out to serve those people who will inherit salvation.
