εις - Indefinite Article
Hebrews 1:5 ends with the following statement: και παλιν εγω εσομαι αυτω εις πατερα και αυτος εσται μοι εις υιον The most common translations have something like: I shall be to him A father and he shall be to me A son Is it safe to say that εις needs to be examined in all contexts to see if it repre...
