Hebrews 1
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,
2 Ref hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in `his' Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;
3 Ref who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Ref having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
King James Version (KJV)
1 Ref God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Ref Hath 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;
3 Ref Who 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:
4 Ref Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;
2 Ref But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;
3 Ref Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;
4 Ref Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.
