(0.27) | (Jam 1:1) | 1 tn Grk “James.” The word “From” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter. |
(0.27) | (Heb 13:9) | 2 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). |
(0.27) | (Heb 11:39) | 1 sn The expression these all were commended forms an inclusio with Heb 11:2: The chapter begins and ends with references to commendation for faith. |
(0.27) | (Heb 12:22) | 1 tn Grk “and the city”; the conjunction is omitted in translation since it seems to be functioning epexegetically—that is, explaining further what is meant by “Mount Zion.” |
(0.27) | (Heb 11:33) | 1 tn This probably refers to the righteous rule of David and others. But it could be more general and mean “did what was righteous.” |
(0.27) | (Heb 11:17) | 2 tn Grk “he was offering up.” The tense of this verb indicates the attempt or readiness to sacrifice Isaac without the actual completion of the deed. |
(0.27) | (Heb 11:3) | 1 tn Grk “ages.” The temporal (ages) came to be used of the spatial (what exists in those time periods). See Heb 1:2 for same usage. |
(0.27) | (Heb 10:20) | 2 sn Through his flesh. In a bold shift the writer changes from a spatial phrase (Christ opened the way through the curtain into the inner sanctuary) to an instrumental phrase (he did this through [by means of] his flesh in his sacrifice of himself), associating the two in an allusion to the splitting of the curtain in the temple from top to bottom (Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). Just as the curtain was split, so Christ’s body was broken for us, to give us access into God’s presence. |
(0.27) | (Heb 9:23) | 1 tn Or “prototypes,” “outlines,” referring to the earthly sanctuary. See Heb 8:5 above for the prior use of this term. |
(0.27) | (Heb 9:1) | 1 tn Grk “the first” (referring to the covenant described in Heb 8:7, 13). In the translation the referent (covenant) has been specified for clarity. |
(0.27) | (Heb 8:5) | 1 tn Grk “who serve in,” referring to the Levitical priests, but focusing on the provisional and typological nature of the tabernacle in which they served. |
(0.27) | (Heb 6:16) | 1 tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποι (anthrōpoi) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, and is thus translated “people.” |

(0.27) | (Heb 7:2) | 1 tn Grk “to whom,” continuing the description of Melchizedek. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. |
(0.27) | (Heb 5:12) | 4 tc ‡ Most texts, including some early and significant ones (א2 A B* D Ψ 0122 0278 1881 M sy Cl), have καί (kai, “and”) immediately preceding οὐ (ou, “not”), but other equally significant witnesses (P46 א* B2 C 33 81 1739 lat Or Did) lack the conjunction. As it was a natural tendency for scribes to add a coordinating conjunction, the καί appears to be a motivated reading. On balance, it is probably best to regard the shorter reading as authentic. NA28 has καί in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity. |
(0.27) | (Heb 2:5) | 1 sn The phrase the world to come means “the coming inhabited earth,” using the Greek term which describes the world of people and their civilizations. |
