Hebrews 2:10

Context
2:10 For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist, 1  in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer 2  of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Hebrews 9:28

Context
9:28 so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, 3  to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin 4  but to bring salvation. 5 

Hebrews 12:15

Context
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 6  and causing trouble, and through him many become defiled.

1 tn Grk “for whom are all things and through whom are all things.”

2 sn The Greek word translated pioneer is used of a “prince” or leader, the representative head of a family. It also carries nuances of “trailblazer,” one who breaks through to new ground for those who follow him. It is used some thirty-five times in the Greek OT and four times in the NT, always of Christ (Acts 3:15; 5:31; Heb 2:10; 12:2).

3 sn An allusion to Isa 53:12.

4 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.

5 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.

6 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.
