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 5:7

5:7 During his earthly life ⁶  Christ ⁷  offered ⁸  both requests and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his devotion.

Hebrews 11:23

11:23 By faith, when Moses was born, his parents hid him ⁹  for three months, because they saw the child was beautiful and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.

[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.”

[5:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “in the days of his flesh.”

[5:7]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Christ) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:7]  ⁸ tn Grk “who…having offered,” continuing the description of Christ from Heb 5:5-6.

[11:23]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Moses, when he was born, was hidden by his parents.”
