[1:6]  ¹ tn Or “And again when he brings.” The translation adopted in the text looks forward to Christ’s second coming to earth. Some take “again” to introduce the quotation (as in 1:5) and understand this as Christ’s first coming, but this view does not fit well with Heb 2:7. Others understand it as his exaltation/ascension to heaven, but this takes the phrase “into the world” in an unlikely way.

[1:6]  ² sn A quotation combining themes from Deut 32:43 and Ps 97:7.

[2:4]  ³ tn Grk “God bearing witness together” (the phrase “with them” is implied).

[2:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “and distributions of the Holy Spirit.”

[3:12]  ⁵ tn Or “take care.”

[3:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[3:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “that there not be in any of you.”

[3:12]  ⁸ tn Or “deserts,” “rebels against.”

[3:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “in forsaking the living God.”

[5:4]  ⁷ sn Honor refers here to the honor of the high priesthood.

[5:4]  ⁸ tn Grk “by himself, on his own.”

[5:4]  ⁹ tn Grk “being called by God.”

[6:6]  ⁹ tn Or “have fallen away.”

[6:6]  ¹⁰ tn Or “while”; Grk “crucifying…and holding.” The Greek participles here (“crucifying…and holding”) can be understood as either causal (“since”) or temporal (“while”).

[6:6]  ¹¹ tn Grk “recrucifying the son of God for themselves.”

[10:12]  ¹¹ tn Grk “this one.” This pronoun refers to Jesus, but “this priest” was used in the translation to make the contrast between the Jewish priests in v. 11 and Jesus as a priest clearer in English.

[10:12]  ¹² sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.

[10:36]  ¹³ tn Grk “the promise,” referring to the thing God promised, not to the pledge itself.

[11:3]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “ages.” The temporal (ages) came to be used of the spatial (what exists in those time periods). See Heb 1:2 for same usage.

[11:3]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “by God’s word.”

[11:3]  ¹⁷ sn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that what is seen did not come into being from things that are visible.”
