1 sn The message spoken through angels refers to the OT law, which according to Jewish tradition was mediated to Moses through angels (cf. Deut 33:2; Ps 68:17-18; Acts 7:38, 53; Gal 3:19; and Jub. 1:27, 29; Josephus, Ant. 15.5.3 [15.136]).
2 tn Grk “through angels became valid and every violation.”
3 tn Grk “near to a curse.”
4 tn Grk “there are those who offer.”
5 tn Grk “for the purifying of the flesh.” The “flesh” here is symbolic of outward or ritual purity in contrast to inner purity, that of the conscience (cf. Heb 9:9).
6 tn Grk “is left,” with “for us” implied by the first half of the verse.
7 tn Grk “you are without discipline.”
8 tn Grk “all”; “sons” is implied by the context.
9 tn Grk “Know that” (an imperative).
10 tn Grk “has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.”
