Ibrani 5:11

The Need to Move on to Maturity

5:11 On this topic we have much to say ⁸  and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish ⁹  in hearing.

Ibrani 6:4

6:4 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

Ibrani 6:12

6:12 so that you may not be sluggish, ¹⁰  but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.

Ibrani 6:16

6:16 For people ¹¹  swear by something greater than themselves, ¹²  and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute. ¹³

Ibrani 8:12-13

8:12 “For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will remember no longer.” ²³ 

8:13 When he speaks of a new covenant, ²⁴  he makes the first obsolete. Now what is growing obsolete and aging is about to disappear. ²⁵ 

Ibrani 10:5

10:5 So when he came into the world, he said,

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.

Ibrani 10:20

10:20 by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for us ²⁶  through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, ²⁷ 

Ibrani 10:33

10:33 At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and afflictions, and at other times you came to share with others who were treated in that way.

Ibrani 11:10

11:10 For he was looking forward to the city with firm foundations, ²⁸  whose architect and builder is God.

Ibrani 11:17

Ibrani 11:22

12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, ³⁶  so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but be healed.

Ibrani 13:16

13:16 And do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, ⁴⁰  for God is pleased with such sacrifices.

Ibrani 13:22

13:22 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, ⁴¹  bear with my message of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly.

Ibrani 13:24

13:24 Greetings to all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.

[1:6]  ¹ tn Or “And again when he brings.” The translation adopted in the text looks forward to Christ’s second coming to earth. Some take “again” to introduce the quotation (as in 1:5) and understand this as Christ’s first coming, but this view does not fit well with Heb 2:7. Others understand it as his exaltation/ascension to heaven, but this takes the phrase “into the world” in an unlikely way.

[1:6]  ² sn A quotation combining themes from Deut 32:43 and Ps 97:7.

[3:1]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[3:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “of our confession.”

[3:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “his”; in the translation the referent (God) has been specified for clarity.

[3:5]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Num 12:7.

[3:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “tested me by trial.”

[5:11]  ⁸ tn Grk “concerning which the message for us is great.”

[5:11]  ⁹ tn Or “dull.”

[6:12]  ¹⁰ tn Or “dull.”

[6:16]  ¹¹ tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, and is thus translated “people.”

[6:16]  ¹² tn Grk “by something greater”; the rest of the comparison (“than themselves”) is implied.

[6:16]  ¹³ tn Grk “the oath for confirmation is an end of all dispute.”

[7:6]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the one”; in the translation the referent (Melchizedek) has been specified for clarity.

[7:6]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “is not descended from them.”

[7:6]  ¹⁶ tn Or “a tenth part.”

[7:6]  ¹⁷ sn The verbs “collected…and blessed” emphasize the continuing effect of the past actions, i.e., Melchizedek’s importance.

[8:6]  ¹⁸ sn The Greek text indicates a contrast between vv. 4-5 and v. 6 that is difficult to render in English: Jesus’ status in the old order of priests (vv. 4-5) versus his superior ministry (v. 6).

[8:6]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “he”; in the translation the referent (Jesus) has been specified for clarity.

[8:6]  ²⁰ tn Grk “to the degree that.”

[8:6]  ²¹ tn Grk “which is enacted.”

[8:6]  ²² sn This linkage of the change in priesthood with a change in the law or the covenant goes back to Heb 7:12, 22 and is picked up again in Heb 9:6-15 and 10:1-18.

[8:12]  ²³ sn A quotation from Jer 31:31-34.

[8:13]  ²⁴ tn Grk “when he says, ‘new,’” (referring to the covenant).

[8:13]  ²⁵ tn Grk “near to disappearing.”

[10:20]  ²⁶ tn Grk “that he inaugurated for us as a fresh and living way,” referring to the entrance mentioned in v. 19.

[10:20]  ²⁷ sn Through his flesh. In a bold shift the writer changes from a spatial phrase (Christ opened the way through the curtain into the inner sanctuary) to an instrumental phrase (he did this through [by means of] his flesh in his sacrifice of himself), associating the two in an allusion to the splitting of the curtain in the temple from top to bottom (Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). Just as the curtain was split, so Christ’s body was broken for us, to give us access into God’s presence.

[11:10]  ²⁸ tn Grk “that has foundations.”

[11:17]  ²⁹ tn Here “received the promises” refers to the pledges themselves, not to the things God promised.

[11:17]  ³⁰ tn Grk “he was offering up.” The tense of this verb indicates the attempt or readiness to sacrifice Isaac without the actual completion of the deed.

[11:22]  ³¹ tn Grk “coming to an end,” “dying.”

[11:22]  ³² sn Joseph’s prophecy about the exodus of the sons of Israel is found in Gen 50:24.

[11:22]  ³³ tn Grk “about his bones,” which refers by metonymy to the disposition of his bones, i.e., his burial.

[11:22]  sn The instructions about his burial are recorded in Gen 50:25.

[12:8]  ³⁴ tn Grk “you are without discipline.”

[12:8]  ³⁵ tn Grk “all”; “sons” is implied by the context.

[12:13]  ³⁶ sn A quotation from Prov 4:26. The phrase make straight paths for your feet is figurative for “stay on God’s paths.”

[12:14]  ³⁷ sn The references to peace and holiness show the close connection between this paragraph and the previous one. The pathway toward “holiness” and the need for it is cited in Heb 12:10 and 14. More importantly Prov 4:26-27 sets up the transition from one paragraph to the next: It urges people to stay on godly paths (Prov 4:26, quoted here in v. 13) and promises that God will lead them in peace if they do so (Prov 4:27 [LXX], quoted in v. 14).

[13:3]  ³⁸ tn Grk “as being imprisoned together.”

[13:3]  ³⁹ tn Or “since you too are vulnerable”; Grk “you also being in the body.”

[13:16]  ⁴⁰ tn Grk “neglect doing good and fellowship.”

[13:22]  ⁴¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.
