Mazmur 89:28

89:28 I will always extend my loyal love to him,

and my covenant with him is secure. ¹ 

Kolose 1:18

1:18 He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn ²  from among the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things. ³ 

[89:28]  ¹ tn Heb “forever I will keep for him my loyal love and will make my covenant secure for him.”

[1:18]  ² tn See the note on the term “firstborn” in 1:15. Here the reference to Jesus as the “firstborn from among the dead” seems to be arguing for a chronological priority, i.e., Jesus was the first to rise from the dead.

[1:18]  ³ tn Grk “in order that he may become in all things, himself, first.”
