Hebrews 1:6

1:6 But when he again brings ¹  his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him!” ² 

Hebrews 6:6

6:6 and then have committed apostasy, ³  to renew them again to repentance, since ⁴  they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again ⁵  and holding him up to contempt.

¹ tn Or “And again when he brings.” The translation adopted in the text looks forward to Christ’s second coming to earth. Some take “again” to introduce the quotation (as in 1:5) and understand this as Christ’s first coming, but this view does not fit well with Heb 2:7. Others understand it as his exaltation/ascension to heaven, but this takes the phrase “into the world” in an unlikely way.

² sn A quotation combining themes from Deut 32:43 and Ps 97:7.

³ tn Or “have fallen away.”

⁴ tn Or “while”; Grk “crucifying…and holding.” The Greek participles here (“crucifying…and holding”) can be understood as either causal (“since”) or temporal (“while”).

⁵ tn Grk “recrucifying the son of God for themselves.”
