10:23 And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy.

Ibrani 13:12

13:12 Therefore, to sanctify the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp.

[1:8]  ¹ tn Or “to.”

[1:8]  ² tn The verb “he says” (λέγει, legei) is implied from the λέγει of v. 7.

[1:8]  ³ tn Or possibly, “Your throne is God forever and ever.” This translation is quite doubtful, however, since (1) in the context the Son is being contrasted to the angels and is presented as far better than they. The imagery of God being the Son’s throne would seem to be of God being his authority. If so, in what sense could this not be said of the angels? In what sense is the Son thus contrasted with the angels? (2) The μέν…δέ (men…de) construction that connects v. 7 with v. 8 clearly lays out this contrast: “On the one hand, he says of the angels…on the other hand, he says of the Son.” Thus, although it is grammatically possible that θεός (qeos) in v. 8 should be taken as a predicate nominative, the context and the correlative conjunctions are decidedly against it. Hebrews 1:8 is thus a strong affirmation of the deity of Christ.

[1:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “the righteous scepter,” but used generically.
