I begotten thee
Psalms 2:7
2:7 I begotten thee. There are several senses in which Christ is the only begotten Son of God, but the emphasis here is on His resurrection from the dead, as evident from the quotation of this verse in Acts 13:33. He was “declared to be the Son of God with power,...by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4). He was also called the “firstborn from the dead” (Colossians 1:18) and the “first begotten of the dead” (Revelation 1:5). Note also Hebrews 5:5.
