Hebrews 1:5

The Son Is Superior to Angels

1:5 For to which of the angels did God ¹  ever say, “You are my son! Today I have fathered you”? ²  And in another place ³  he says, ⁴  “I will be his father and he will be my son.” ⁵ 

Hebrews 10:29

10:29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for ⁶  the Son of God, and profanes ⁷  the blood of the covenant that made him holy, ⁸  and insults the Spirit of grace?

[1:5]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:5]  ² tn Grk “I have begotten you.”

[1:5]  ³ tn Grk “And again,” quoting another OT passage.

[1:5]  ⁴ tn The words “he says” are not in the Greek text but are supplied to make a complete English sentence. In the Greek text this is a continuation of the previous sentence, but English does not normally employ such long and complex sentences.

[1:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me.”

[10:29]  ⁶ tn Grk “tramples under foot.”

[10:29]  ⁷ tn Grk “regarded as common.”

[10:29]  ⁸ tn Grk “by which he was made holy.”
