NKJV - firstborn v. firstbegotten - Hebrews 1:6

Post by macca »

In Hebrews 1:6; But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:

The KJV says 'firstbegotten'

To me this change of word makes a huge difference to the meaning of the passage to the point of destroying Paul's meaning completely. Very bad translation.

What is the difference between "firstborn" and "firstbegotten"?

And, even if there is a difference, what standard do you use to determine which English word is correct?

If you're siding with the KJV because it is the KJV, then there's no point in arguing which word is correct, if the KJV is your final authority?
