Hebrews 2:9
2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, 1 now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, 2 so that by God’s grace he would experience 3 death on behalf of everyone.
Hebrews 10:29
10:29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for 4 the Son of God, and profanes 5 the blood of the covenant that made him holy, 6 and insults the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 12:15
12:15 See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no one be like a bitter root springing up 7 and causing trouble, and through him many become defiled.
Hebrews 13:9
13:9 Do not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings. 8 For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not ritual meals, 9 which have never benefited those who participated in them.
1 tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”
2 tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”
3 tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).
4 tn Grk “tramples under foot.”
5 tn Grk “regarded as common.”
6 tn Grk “by which he was made holy.”
7 tn Grk “that there not be any root of bitterness,” but referring figuratively to a person who causes trouble (as in Deut 29:17 [LXX] from which this is quoted).
sn An allusion to Deut 29:18.
8 tn Grk “by diverse and strange teachings.”
9 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).
