and did not know her till she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.

and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

as it is written in the Law of the Lord: "Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord."

because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,

And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things -- himself -- first,

and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him -- all messengers of God;'

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: even his first-born, did he that had received the promises, offer up,

of which first-born it was said: In Isaac shall your posterity be called:

by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.

to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood,

So also has been written, The first man Adam was born into a living soul; and the last Adam into a spirit making alive.
