Hebrews 2:9-13
Splitting these verses for our reading list is difficult. My reading schedule had us ending with verse 8 yesterday and beginning with verse 9 today. We could just as easily have had the split between 9 and 10. So the best that we can do is read ahead a verse or two on “Day 1” if our Bible does not show a natural break and then go back a verse or two on “Day 2”. Just that…
So, today, another clarification – pronouns again…! For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source… (vv. 10-11a) I have cited the ESV translation which does not capitalize deific pronouns. But for these verses that would still be confusing. So I am rewriting those verses adding parenthetical names where pronouns are used: For it was fitting that He (God the Father), for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (us) to glory, should make the founder(Jesus) of their (our) salvation perfect through suffering. For he (Jesus) who sanctifies and those who are sanctified (us) all have one source (God the Father)… Helpful?
