Hebrews 1:5

The Son Is Superior to Angels

1:5 For to which of the angels did God12 ever say, “You are my son! Today I have fathered you”?13 And in another place14 he says,15 “I will be his father and he will be my son.”16

12	tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
13	tn Grk “I have begotten you.” sn A quotation from Ps 2:7.
14	tn Grk “And again,” quoting another OT passage.
15	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.
16	tn Grk “I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me.” sn A quotation from 2 Sam 7:14 (cf. 1 Chr 17:13).
