Hebrews 6:19-20

[3:1]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[3:1]  ² tn Grk “of our confession.”

[3:9]  ³ tn Grk “tested me by trial.”

[4:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “let us fear.”

[5:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “concerning which the message for us is great.”

[5:11]  ⁸ tn Or “dull.”

[6:19]  ⁹ sn The curtain refers to the veil or drape in the temple that separated the holy place from the holy of holies.

[6:20]  ¹¹ sn A quotation from Ps 110:4, picked up again from Heb 5:6, 10.

[10:20]  ¹³ tn Grk “that he inaugurated for us as a fresh and living way,” referring to the entrance mentioned in v. 19.

[10:20]  ¹⁴ 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.

[10:26]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “is left,” with “for us” implied by the first half of the verse.

[11:3]  ¹⁷ 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]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “by God’s word.”

[11:3]  ¹⁹ 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.”

[12:21]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “that which appeared.”

[12:21]  ²⁰ tn Grk “I am terrified and trembling.”
