• the very Man Whom they crucified by the hand of lawless men, Who was crucified through weakness At the moment He bowed His head and expired, He was sustaining all creation. It were absurd to think or say so, had He been only man; but He was God; and the dissolution of the tie between the outer and the inner man in no way touched His almighty power. (“Hebrews 1:2-4” by W. Kelly)
• Jesus then is not merely the Messianic Heir of the-nations as in Psa. 2 He is the Heir of all things as He created all. (“Hebrews 1:2-4” by W. Kelly)
• the incarnation means not Godhead swamped by humanity, but this taken into everlasting union with itself, each nature abiding in its own perfectness, not metamorphosed but constituting together the one person of Christ. As He therefore brought all into being, so does He sustain all the universe, and ever did so. (“Hebrews 1:2-4” by W. Kelly)
• To create needed but His word; to sustain, His will; but not so redemption. To command in this case would have been wholly insufficient. The purging of sins could not be without the shedding of blood, without sacrificial death (“Hebrews 1:2-4” by W. Kelly)
• Christ " by Himself " made purification of sins. For He alone suffered for sins; He alone was sacrificed for us. The Father had His will in giving Him for the purpose; and the Holy Spirit bears testimony to the complete efficacy, as He previously held out types and predictions and promises. But it was for Christ alone to suffer for sin; and this He did to the uttermost. (“Hebrews 1:2-4” by W. Kelly)
• the work was done, finished, in such perfectness, that the only adequate seat for Him Who had borne all was at the right hand of the Majesty on high. (“Hebrews 1:2-4” by W. Kelly)
• " effulgence." It is really a "shining off from" The force is of beams of light radiating from a luminous surface. Thus the word is most picturesque, full of active energy (“Hebrews 1:3” by R. Beacon)
• in the Greek there is only one word for the twofold English term " express image." And it is a most forcible one. It has been bodily transferred to English in the well-known word " character," which is pure and unaltered Greek, and means (see Liddell and Scott), strictly, an instrument for graving, and then that which is cut in or stamped. To use a homely illustration, one may perhaps think of that which has taken the form of a mold in which it has been cast in liquid shape, and then solidifying. (“Hebrews 1:3” by R. Beacon)
• We carefully note that Christ is not said to be the " likeness " of God. Things are like that are not identical. (“Hebrews 1:3” by R. Beacon)
• He is the Creator-God, but He is a Messiah who has taken His place in the heavens at the right hand of majesty. (“Hebrews 1” by J.N. Darby)
• “the effulgence of His glory”—the shining forth of the glory of God. The Son become flesh fully presents the glory of God. This glory of God is the combination of all the attributes of God brought into display. (“The Glory of the Son: Hebrews 1” by H. Smith)
• Upholder of "all things by the word of His power."…. The truth is that, not only was the universe brought into being by the Son, it is also maintained by the Son. (“The Glory of the Son: Hebrews 1” by H. Smith)
• “Himself purged our sins.” Although this included our sins, it is not the point here. “Our” has been added by the translators. The chapter is magnifying the majesty of the person and various work of the Son. (“Help on Hard Verses” by A.C. Brown)
• First, we have what He is, as the outshining of the glory of God and the exact expression of all that God is. Secondly, we are told what He has done. (“Hebrews 1” by F.B. Hole)
• The efficacy of the work that He did was dependent upon the fact of who and what He was; whilst the proof and demonstration of the efficacy of His work is found in where He is, in the fact that He is seated in the place of supreme power. (“Hebrews 1” by F.B. Hole)

who being the effulgenceb of his glory and the expression of his substancec, and upholding all things by the word of hisd power, having madee by himself the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,

JND Translation Notes

b
That which fully presents the glory which is in something else. Thus light makes us know what the sun is; the tabernacle, what the pattern in the mount was.
c
Clearly "substance," "essential being," not "person." It is of God, not of the Father.
d
That is, his own, the Son's.
e
The form (middle) of the verb here, has a peculiar reflexive force, "having done it for himself." Though we, as alone the sinners, have the profit, yet the work was done within his own person and work, without us, as when a man journeys, and so when he makes a person his friend, his wife.

W. Kelly Translation

3
who being effulgence of his glory and expression of his substancea, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himselfb] purification of our sins sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

WK Translation Notes

+
a
And it is scarcely needful to say that "person," given in the KJV is a mistake. It is "substance" or essential being, the very image, or impress, "of His substance."
b
The omission of "by himself" in some MSS. is by no means so sure as to justify no notice in the margin. It is the reading of the three oldest copies against the mass which omit "by Himself."
