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 2:14
2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in 4 their humanity, 5 so that through death he could destroy 6 the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil),
Hebrews 2:17
2:17 Therefore he had 7 to be made like his brothers and sisters 8 in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement 9 for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 5:5
5:5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, 10 who said to him, “You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,” 11
Hebrews 6:10
6:10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints.

7:21 but Jesus 13 did so 14 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’” 15 –

9:12 and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured 16 eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:28
9:28 so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, 17 to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin 18 but to bring salvation. 19
Hebrews 11:5
11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, and he was not to be found because God took him up. For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God.
Hebrews 11:12
11:12 So in fact children 20 were fathered by one man – and this one as good as dead – like the number of stars in the sky and like the innumerable grains of sand 21 on the seashore. 22
Hebrews 12:1
The Lord’s Discipline
12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, 23 we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us,
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 Or “partook of” (this is a different word than the one in v. 14a).
5 tn Grk “the same.”
6 tn Or “break the power of,” “reduce to nothing.”
7 tn Or “he was obligated.”
8 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.
9 tn Or “propitiation.”
10 tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
11 tn Grk “I have begotten you”; see Heb 1:5.
sn A quotation from Ps 2:7.
12 tn Grk “have taken refuge”; the basis of that refuge is implied in the preceding verse.
13 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
14 tn The words “did so” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
15 sn A quotation from Ps 110:4 (see Heb 5:6, 6:20, and 7:17).
16 tn This verb occurs in the Greek middle voice, which here intensifies the role of the subject, Christ, in accomplishing the action: “he alone secured”; “he and no other secured.”
17 sn An allusion to Isa 53:12.
18 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.
19 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.
20 tn Grk “these”; in the translation the referent (children) has been specified for clarity.
21 tn Grk a collective “the sand.”
22 sn An allusion to Gen 22:17 (which itself goes back to Gen 15:5).
23 tn Grk “having such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us.”
