Hebrews 1 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version

chevron_leftchevron_right

Hebrews 1

1God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,

2In these days, hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.

3Who being the brightness of his glory and the figure of his substance and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high:

4Being made so much better than the angels as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

5For to which of the angels hath he said at any time: Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

6And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.

7And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.

8But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

9Thou hast loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.

11They shall perish: but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.

12And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shalt be changed. But thou art the selfsame: and thy years shall not fail.

13But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?

Hebrews 1

1God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2Hath 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;

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.

5For 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?

6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

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.

13But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
