[3:2]  ¹ tn Grk “his”; in the translation the referent (God) has been specified for clarity.

[3:2]  ² tc ‡ The reading adopted by the translation follows a few early mss and some versions (Ì^13,46vid B vg^ms co Ambr). The majority of mss (א A C D Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 Ï lat sy) insert “all” (“in all his house”), apparently in anticipation of Heb 3:5 which quotes directly from Num 12:7. On balance, the omission better explains the rise of ὅλῳ ({olw, “all”) than vice versa. NA²⁷ puts ὅλῳ in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[5:8]  ³ sn There is a wordplay in the Greek text between the verbs “learned” (ἔμαθεν, emaqen) and “suffered” (ἔπαθεν, epaqen).

[7:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “in the loins of his father” (a reference to Abraham). The name “Abraham” has been repeated in the translation at this point (cf. v. 9) in order to clarify the referent (i.e., what ancestor was in view).

[7:20]  ⁷ sn The Greek text contains an elaborate comparison between v. 20a and v. 22, with a parenthesis (vv. 20b-21) in between; the comparison is literally, “by as much as…by so much” or “to the degree that…to that same degree.”

[7:23]  ⁹ tn Grk “they on the one hand” in contrast with “he on the other hand” in v. 24.

[7:23]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “they were prevented by death.”

[7:23]  ¹¹ tn Grk “from continuing” (the words “in office” are supplied for clarity).

[8:7]  ¹¹ tn Grk “no occasion for a second one would have been sought.”

[10:10]  ¹³ tn Grk “by which will.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[10:39]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “not…of shrinking back to perdition but of faith to the preservation of the soul.”
