Hebrews 13:22

13:22 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, ²¹  bear with my message of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly.

[2:4]  ¹ tn Grk “God bearing witness together” (the phrase “with them” is implied).

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

[3:14]  ³ tn Grk “the beginning of the confidence.”

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

[5:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “by himself, on his own.”

[5:4]  ⁷ tn Grk “being called by God.”

[6:6]  ⁷ tn Or “have fallen away.”

[6:6]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ tn Grk “recrucifying the son of God for themselves.”

[6:16]  ⁹ tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, and is thus translated “people.”

[6:16]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “by something greater”; the rest of the comparison (“than themselves”) is implied.

[6:16]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the oath for confirmation is an end of all dispute.”

[6:19]  ¹¹ sn The curtain refers to the veil or drape in the temple that separated the holy place from the holy of holies.

[10:12]  ¹³ 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]  ¹⁴ sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.

[10:20]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “that he inaugurated for us as a fresh and living way,” referring to the entrance mentioned in v. 19.

[10:20]  ¹⁶ sn Through his flesh. In a bold shift the writer changes from a spatial phrase (Christ opened the way through the curtain into the inner sanctuary) to an instrumental phrase (he did this through [by means of] his flesh in his sacrifice of himself), associating the two in an allusion to the splitting of the curtain in the temple from top to bottom (Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). Just as the curtain was split, so Christ’s body was broken for us, to give us access into God’s presence.

[10:36]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “the promise,” referring to the thing God promised, not to the pledge itself.

[11:26]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “the abuse [or ‘reproach’] of Christ.”

[11:26]  ²⁰ tn Grk “he was looking away to.”

[13:22]  ²¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.
