Hebrews 2:11
11For indeed he who makes holy and those being made holy all have the same origin, ▼▼ Grk “are all from one.”
and so ▼▼ Grk “for which reason.”
he is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, ▼▼ Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.
