Hebrews 6:18

6:18 so that we who have found refuge in him ¹  may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.

Hebrews 13:9

13:9 Do not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings. ²  For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not ritual meals, ³  which have never benefited those who participated in them.

[6:18]  ¹ tn Grk “have taken refuge”; the basis of that refuge is implied in the preceding verse.

[13:9]  ² tn Grk “by diverse and strange teachings.”

[13:9]  ³ tn Grk “foods,” referring to the meals associated with the OT sacrifices (see the contrast with the next verse; also 9:9-10; 10:1, 4, 11).
