Hebrews 1:4

1:4 Thus he became ¹  so far better than the angels as ²  he has inherited a name superior to theirs.

Hebrews 1:14

1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to serve those ³  who will inherit salvation?

[1:4]  ¹ tn Grk “having become.” This is part of the same sentence that extends from v. 1 through v. 4 in the Greek text.

[1:4]  ² tn Most modern English translations attempt to make the comparison somewhat smoother by treating “name” as if it were the subject of the second element: “as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, CEV). However, the Son is the subject of both the first and second elements: “he became so far better”; “he has inherited a name.” The present translation maintains this parallelism even though it results in a somewhat more awkward rendering.

[1:14]  ³ tn Grk “sent for service for the sake of those.”
