Hebrews 10:9-10

Context
10:9 then he says, “Here I am: I have come to do your will.” 1  He does away with 2  the first to establish the second. 10:10 By his will 3  we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

1 tc The majority of mss, especially the later ones (א2 0278vid 1739 Ï lat), have ὁ θεός (Jo qeo", “God”) at this point, while most of the earliest and best witnesses lack such an explicit addressee (so Ì46 א* A C D K P Ψ 33 1175 1881 2464 al). The longer reading is a palpable corruption, apparently motivated in part by the wording of Ps 40:8 (39:9 LXX) and by the word order of this same verse as quoted in Heb 10:7.

2 tn Or “abolishes.”

3 tn Grk “by which will.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
