Ibrani 12:14

Do Not Reject God’s Warning

12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, ⁶  for without it no one will see the Lord.

[2:2]  ¹ sn The message spoken through angels refers to the OT law, which according to Jewish tradition was mediated to Moses through angels (cf. Deut 33:2; Ps 68:17-18; Acts 7:38, 53; Gal 3:19; and Jub. 1:27, 29; Josephus, Ant. 15.5.3 [15.136]).

[2:2]  ² tn Grk “through angels became valid and every violation.”

[9:2]  ³ tn Grk “the first,” in order of approach in the ritual.

[9:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “in which [were].”

[9:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “which,” describing the outer tent.

[12:14]  ⁶ 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).
