Ibrani 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 

Ibrani 2:9

2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, ⁶  now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, ⁷  so that by God’s grace he would experience ⁸  death on behalf of everyone.

Ibrani 2:14

2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in ⁹  their humanity, ¹⁰  so that through death he could destroy ¹¹  the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil),

Ibrani 9:24

9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation ¹²  of the true sanctuary ¹³  – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

[1:5]  sn A quotation from Ps 2:7.

[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.

[2:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”

[2:9]  ⁸ tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).

[2:14]  ⁹ tn Or “partook of” (this is a different word than the one in v. 14a).

[9:24]  ¹² tn Or “prefiguration.”
