Hebrews 3:6

3:6 But Christ ¹  is faithful as a son over God’s ²  house. We are of his house, ³  if in fact we hold firmly ⁴  to our confidence and the hope we take pride in. ⁵ 

Hebrews 5:5

5:5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, ⁶  who said to him, “You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,” ⁷ 

Hebrews 6:6

6:6 and then have committed apostasy, ⁸  to renew them again to repentance, since ⁹  they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again ¹⁰  and holding him up to contempt.

[3:6]  ¹ sn The Greek makes the contrast between v. 5 and v. 6a more emphatic and explicit than is easily done in English.

[3:6]  ² tn Grk “his”; in the translation the referent (God) has been specified for clarity.

[3:6]  ³ tn Grk “whose house we are,” continuing the previous sentence.

[3:6]  ⁴ tc The reading adopted by the translation is found in Ì^13,46 B sa, while the vast majority of mss (א A C D Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 Ï latt) add μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν (mecri telou" bebaian, “secure until the end”). The external evidence for the omission, though minimal, has excellent credentials. Considering the internal factors, B. M. Metzger (TCGNT 595) finds it surprising that the feminine adjective βεβαίαν should modify the neuter noun καύχημα (kauchma, here translated “we take pride”), a fact that suggests that even the form of the word was borrowed from another place. Since the same phrase occurs at Heb 3:14, it is likely that later scribes added it here at Heb 3:6 in anticipation of Heb 3:14. While these words belong at 3:14, they seem foreign to 3:6.

[3:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “the pride of our hope.”

[5:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “I have begotten you”; see Heb 1:5.

[6:6]  ¹¹ tn Or “have fallen away.”

[6:6]  ¹² 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]  ¹³ tn Grk “recrucifying the son of God for themselves.”
