don't give a rip about the word brethren.
uion upsilon, iota, omicron, sigma.
That is the word for "son" in Matthew 1:25. But it doesn't just say son, and it doesn't say just firstborn. It says, FIRSTBORN SON. Firstborn modifies son. It is not a substitute for the word "son".
prototokon pi rho omicron tau omicron tau kappa omicron nu firstborn
"And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow."
The new testament text of the day doesn't say firstborn here. It says only son. No doubt you will try to spin it to suggest the uniqueness of the situation, but it destroys the only do it this way argument, no matter what you offer.
