Hebrews 4:16

4:16 Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help. ¹ 

Hebrews 7:21

7:21 but Jesus ²  did so ³  with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever’” ⁴  –

Hebrews 7:28

7:28 For the law appoints as high priests men subject to weakness, ⁵  but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.

Hebrews 10:22

10:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings, ⁶  because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience ⁷  and our bodies washed in pure water.

Hebrews 10:34

10:34 For in fact you shared the sufferings of those in prison, ⁸  and you accepted the confiscation of your belongings with joy, because you knew that you certainly ⁹  had a better and lasting possession.

Hebrews 11:9

11:9 By faith he lived as a foreigner ¹⁰  in the promised land as though it were a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs ¹¹  of the same promise.

[4:16]  ¹ tn Grk “for timely help.”

[7:21]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:21]  ³ tn The words “did so” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[7:21]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 110:4 (see Heb 5:6, 6:20, and 7:17).

[7:28]  ³ sn See Heb 5:2 where this concept was introduced.

[10:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “in assurance of faith.”

[10:22]  ⁵ sn The phrase our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience combines the OT imagery of the sprinkling with blood to give ritual purity with the emphasis on the interior cleansing provided by the new covenant: It is the heart that is cleansed and the conscience made perfect (cf. Heb 8:10; 9:9, 14; 10:2, 16).

[10:34]  ⁵ tc Most witnesses, including some important ones (א D² 1881 Ï), read δεσμοῖς μου (desmoi" mou, “my imprisonment”) here, a reading that is probably due to the widespread belief in the early Christian centuries that Paul was the author of Hebrews (cf. Phil 1:7; Col 4:18). It may have been generated by the reading δεσμοῖς without the μου (so Ì⁴⁶ Ψ 104 pc), the force of which is so ambiguous (lit., “you shared the sufferings with the bonds”) as to be virtually nonsensical. Most likely, δεσμοῖς resulted when a scribe made an error in copying δεσμίοις (desmioi"), a reading which makes excellent sense (“[of] those in prison”) and is strongly supported by early and significant witnesses of the Alexandrian and Western texttypes (A D* H 6 33 81 1739 lat sy co). Thus, δεσμίοις best explains the rise of the other readings on both internal and external grounds and is strongly preferred.

[10:34]  ⁶ tn Grk “you yourselves.”

[11:9]  ⁶ tn Or “settled as a resident alien.”

[11:9]  ⁷ tn Or “heirs with him.”

[12:17]  ⁷ tn Or a command: “for understand that.”

[12:17]  ⁸ tn Grk “it,” referring either to the repentance or the blessing. But the account in Gen 27:34-41 (which the author appeals to here) makes it clear that the blessing is what Esau sought. Thus in the translation the referent (the blessing) is specified for clarity.
