1 1WHEN IN FORMER TIMES God spoke to our forefathers, he spoke in fragmentary and varied fashion through the prophets.God has Spoken by His Son Hb.1.1-4Πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως πάλαι ὁ θεὸς λαλήσας τοῖς πατράσιν ἐν τοῖς προφήταις
2But in this the final age he has spoken to us in the Son whom he has made heir to the whole universe, and through whom he created all orders of existence:  ἐπ' ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν τούτων ἐλάλησεν ἡμῖν ἐν υἱῷ, ὃν ἐθηκεν κληρονόμον πάντων, δῖ οὗ καὶ ἐποίησεν τοὺς αἰῶνας·
3the Son who is the effulgence of God's splendour and the stamp of God's very being, and sustains Or: bears along. the universe by his word of power. When he had brought about the purgation of sins, he took his seat at the right hand of Majesty on high, ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καθαρισμὸν τῶν ἀμαρτιῶν ποιησάμενος ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,
4raised as far above the angels, as the title he has inherited is superior to theirs.
 τοσούτῳ κρείττων γενόμενος τῶν ἀγγέλων ὁσῳ διαφορώτερον παρ' αὐτοὺς κεκληρονόμηκεν ὀνομα.
