Hebrews 9:28

9:28 so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, ¹  to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin ²  but to bring salvation. ³ 

Hebrews 12:9

12:9 Besides, we have experienced discipline from ⁴  our earthly fathers ⁵  and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life? ⁶ 

[9:28]  ¹ sn An allusion to Isa 53:12.

[9:28]  ² tn Grk “without sin,” but in context this does not refer to Christ’s sinlessness (as in Heb 4:15) but to the fact that sin is already dealt with by his first coming.

[9:28]  ³ tn Grk “for salvation.” This may be construed with the verb “await” (those who wait for him to bring them salvation), but the connection with “appear” (as in the translation) is more likely.

[12:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “we had our earthly fathers as discipliners.”

[12:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “the fathers of our flesh.” In Hebrews, “flesh” is a characteristic way of speaking about outward, physical, earthly life (cf. Heb 5:7; 9:10, 13), as opposed to the inward or spiritual dimensions of life.

[12:9]  ⁶ tn Grk “and live.”
