Hebrews 1:5

The Son Is Superior to Angels

5 For to which of the angels did God ^{▼▼ Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} ever say, “ You are my son! Today I have fathered you ”? ^{▼▼ Grk “I have begotten you.”} ^{▼▼ A quotation from Ps 2:7.} And in another place ^{▼▼ Grk “And again,” quoting another OT passage.} he says, ^{▼▼ 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.} “ I will be his father and he will be my son .” ^{▼▼ Grk “I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me.”} ^{▼▼ A quotation from 2 Sam 7:14 (cf. 1 Chr 17:13).}
