Ibrani 2:3

2:3 how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first communicated through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

Ibrani 6:1

6:1 Therefore we must progress beyond ¹  the elementary ²  instructions about Christ ³  and move on ⁴  to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God,

Ibrani 8:9

8:9 “It will not be like the covenant ⁵  that I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I had no regard for them, says the Lord.

Ibrani 10:34

10:34 For in fact you shared the sufferings of those in prison, ⁶  and you accepted the confiscation of your belongings with joy, because you knew that you certainly ⁷  had a better and lasting possession.

11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the things promised, ⁸  but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners ⁹  on the earth.

Ibrani 12:1

The Lord’s Discipline

12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, ¹⁰  we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us,

[6:1]  ¹ tn Grk “Therefore leaving behind.” The implication is not of abandoning this elementary information, but of building on it.

[6:1]  ² tn Or “basic.”

[6:1]  ³ tn Grk “the message of the beginning of Christ.”

[6:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “leaving behind…let us move on.”

[8:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “not like the covenant,” continuing the description of v. 8b.

[10:34]  ⁶ tc Most witnesses, including some important ones (א D² 1881 Ï), read δεσμοῖς μου (desmoi" mou, “my imprisonment”) here, a reading that is probably due to the widespread belief in the early Christian centuries that Paul was the author of Hebrews (cf. Phil 1:7; Col 4:18). It may have been generated by the reading δεσμοῖς without the μου (so Ì⁴⁶ Ψ 104 pc), the force of which is so ambiguous (lit., “you shared the sufferings with the bonds”) as to be virtually nonsensical. Most likely, δεσμοῖς resulted when a scribe made an error in copying δεσμίοις (desmioi"), a reading which makes excellent sense (“[of] those in prison”) and is strongly supported by early and significant witnesses of the Alexandrian and Western texttypes (A D* H 6 33 81 1739 lat sy co). Thus, δεσμίοις best explains the rise of the other readings on both internal and external grounds and is strongly preferred.

[10:34]  ⁷ tn Grk “you yourselves.”

[11:13]  ⁸ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

[11:13]  ⁹ tn Or “sojourners.”

[12:1]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “having such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us.”
