Ibrani 12:9
Konteks12:9 Besides, we have experienced discipline from 1 our earthly fathers 2 and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life? 3
Ibrani 2:9
Konteks2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, 4 now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, 5 so that by God’s grace he would experience 6 death on behalf of everyone.
Ibrani 5:4
Konteks5:4 And no one assumes this honor 7 on his own initiative, 8 but only when called to it by God, 9 as in fact Aaron was.
[12:9] 1 tn Grk “we had our earthly fathers as discipliners.”
[12:9] 2 tn Grk “the fathers of our flesh.” In Hebrews, “flesh” is a characteristic way of speaking about outward, physical, earthly life (cf. Heb 5:7; 9:10, 13), as opposed to the inward or spiritual dimensions of life.
[12:9] sn Submit ourselves…to the Father of spirits and receive life. This idea is drawn from Proverbs, where the Lord’s discipline brings life, while resistance to it leads to death (cf. Prov 4:13; 6:23; 10:17; 16:17).
[2:9] 4 tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”
[2:9] 5 tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”
[2:9] 6 tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).
[5:4] 7 sn Honor refers here to the honor of the high priesthood.
