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.
