  1. John 17:6 Greek your name

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;(A)
    today I have become your father.(B)
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations(C) your inheritance,(D)
    the ends of the earth(E) your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron[a];(F)
    you will dash them to pieces(G) like pottery.(H)

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(I)
    be warned, you rulers(J) of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear(K)
    and celebrate his rule(L) with trembling.(M)
12 Kiss his son,(N) or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(O) can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed(P) are all who take refuge(Q) in him.

  1. Psalm 2:9 Or will rule them with an iron scepter (see Septuagint and Syriac)

20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,(A) the firstfruits(B) of those who have fallen asleep.(C) 21 For since death came through a man,(D) the resurrection of the dead(E) comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.(F) 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits;(G) then, when he comes,(H) those who belong to him.(I) 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom(J) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.(K) 25 For he must reign(L) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.(M) 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.(N) 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[a](O) Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.(P) 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him,(Q) so that God may be all in all.(R)
