	Jehovah's Witnesses and Heb. 1:6 in the New World Translation
		The problem with this verse in the JW Bible is with the word "obeisance." In the Greek, the word is "proskuneo." It means, worship; fall down and worship, kneel, bow low, obeisance.
		Obeisance means, "bending the head or body or knee as a sign of reverence or submission or shame." While it is certainly true that people would bow down before Jesus in the Bible, the English word "obeisance" does not carry sufficiently the act of worship due Him because of His divine nature.
		Therefore, every single time that the word "proskuneo" is used in reference to Christ, it is translated as "obeisance" and never as worship.
