| 1:2 | αιωναϲ:ages | [ages] – The book-wide rendering of the ages as the eschatological age-order of God's redemptive purpose, inaugurated in the last days through the son. |
| 1:3 | απαυγαϲμα:radiance | [radiance] – Wisdom-tradition personification language (cf. Wisdom 7:26): the son is the outshining of the divine glory, God's self-expression. |
| 1:3 | χαρακτηρ:exact-imprint | [exact-imprint] – The companion image-bearing term: the son bears the exact stamp of God's own reality. |
| 1:3 | υποϲταϲεωϲ:of-substance | [substance] – The word names God's own being and reality; the book reuses it for the founding-ground of faith (3:14) and for the substance of hoped-for things (11:1). |

| 1:6 | προϲκυνηϲατωϲαν:let-do-obeisance | [let-do-obeisance] – Royal homage rendered to the enthroned son; the book-wide convention distinguishes this from the cultic worship reserved for the one God. |
| 1:10 | κυριε:lord | [lord] – The psalm's address to the enduring one is carried over to the son in the name-theology framework, in which the agent bears the divine name and delegated authority; the lowercase title marks the bearer, while the capitalised title belongs to the one God. |
