Ibrani 5:12

5:12 For though you should in fact be teachers by this time, ¹  you need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God’s utterances. ²  You have gone back to needing ³  milk, not ⁴  solid food.

Ibrani 6:18

6:18 so that we who have found refuge in him ⁵  may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.

Ibrani 9:26

9:26 for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice.

[5:12]  ¹ tn Grk “because of the time.”

[5:12]  ² tn Grk “the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God.”

[5:12]  ³ tn Grk “you have come to have a need for.”

[5:12]  ⁴ 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.

[6:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “have taken refuge”; the basis of that refuge is implied in the preceding verse.
