Discovery BoxHebrews 1:5

Hebrews 12:9

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Grk “I have begotten you.”
sn A quotation from Ps 2:7.
3 tn Grk “And again,” quoting another OT passage.
4 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.
5 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).
6 tn Grk “we had our earthly fathers as discipliners.”
7 tn Grk “the fathers of our flesh.” In Hebrews, “flesh” is a characteristic way of speaking about outward, physical, earthly life (cf. Heb 5:7; 9:10, 13), as opposed to the inward or spiritual dimensions of life.
8 tn Grk “and live.”
sn Submit ourselves…to the Father of spirits and receive life. This idea is drawn from Proverbs, where the Lord’s discipline brings life, while resistance to it leads to death (cf. Prov 4:13; 6:23; 10:17; 16:17).
