Ibrani 10:22

10:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings, ¹  because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience ²  and our bodies washed in pure water.

[10:22]  ¹ tn Grk “in assurance of faith.”

[10:22]  ² sn The phrase our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience combines the OT imagery of the sprinkling with blood to give ritual purity with the emphasis on the interior cleansing provided by the new covenant: It is the heart that is cleansed and the conscience made perfect (cf. Heb 8:10; 9:9, 14; 10:2, 16).

[6:7]  ³ tn Grk “comes upon.”

[12:17]  ⁴ tn Or a command: “for understand that.”

[12:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “it,” referring either to the repentance or the blessing. But the account in Gen 27:34-41 (which the author appeals to here) makes it clear that the blessing is what Esau sought. Thus in the translation the referent (the blessing) is specified for clarity.

[5:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “in the days of his flesh.”

[5:7]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Christ) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:7]  ⁸ tn Grk “who…having offered,” continuing the description of Christ from Heb 5:5-6.

[5:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “because of the time.”

[5:12]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God.”

[5:12]  ¹¹ tn Grk “you have come to have a need for.”

[5:12]  ¹² tc ‡ Most texts, including some early and important ones (א² A B* D Ψ 0122 0278 1881 Ï sy Cl), have καί (kai, “and”) immediately preceding οὐ (ou, “not”), but other equally significant witnesses (Ì⁴⁶ א* B² C 33 81 1739 lat Or Did) lack the conjunction. As it was a natural tendency for scribes to add a coordinating conjunction, the καί appears to be a motivated reading. On balance, it is probably best to regard the shorter reading as authentic. NA²⁷ has καί in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[11:16]  ¹³ tn Grk “now.”
