Hebrews 6:16

Context
6:16 For people 1  swear by something greater than themselves, 2  and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute. 3 

Hebrews 11:40

Context
11:40 For God had provided something better for us, so that they would be made perfect together with us. 4 

1 tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, and is thus translated “people.”

2 tn Grk “by something greater”; the rest of the comparison (“than themselves”) is implied.

3 tn Grk “the oath for confirmation is an end of all dispute.”

4 tn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that they would not be made perfect without us.”
