Ibrani 7:21

7:21 but Jesus ¹  did so ²  with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever’” ³  –

Ibrani 12:14

Do Not Reject God’s Warning

12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, ⁴  for without it no one will see the Lord.

Ibrani 13:6

13:6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, and ⁵  I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” ⁶ 

[7:21]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:21]  ² tn The words “did so” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[7:21]  ³ sn A quotation from Ps 110:4 (see Heb 5:6, 6:20, and 7:17).

[12:14]  ⁴ 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).

[13:6]  ⁵ tc Some important mss (א* C* P 0285^vid 33 1175 1739 pc lat) lack καί (kai), but because the omission conforms to the wording of Ps 118:6 (117:6 LXX), it is suspect.

[13:6]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Ps 118:6.
