For it was fitting for him — for whom all things exist and through whom all things exist — in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
The word *archēgon* is rendered **Pioneer**, the Pioneer Translation's standing name for this title. The verb *teleiōsai* means "to make complete" or "to make perfect" — this is translated at face value as "make perfect through sufferings," preserving the striking and theologically honest force of the text, which indicates a real process of completion undergone by the Son, not a merely apparent one. The phrase "for whom all things exist and through whom all things exist" refers to the Father, keeping the distinction between Father and Son clear.
