VERSE Η ΚΑΙΝΗ ΔΙΑΘΗΚΗ ENGLISH NOTES
Eph 1:1 Παῦλος, ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ διὰ θελήματος θεοῦ, τοῖς ἁγίοις τοῖς οὖσιν ἐν Ἐφέσῳ καὶ πιστοῖς ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· From Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and the faithful in Christ Jesus, Granville Sharp rule 1 equates the saints who are in Ephesus with the faithful in Christ Jesus, but the intervening who are in Ephesus may disjoin the connection.
saints: see Matt 27:52.
Eph 1:2 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ. grace to you, and peace, from God our father and Lord, Jesus Christ. Lord: no article in the Greek. See Rom 1:7, showing why we repunctuate; AV differs.
Eph 1:3 Εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, ὁ εὐλογήσας ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ πνευματικῇ ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις {RP P1904 E1624 S1894: ἐν} [S1550: - ] χριστῷ· Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the upper-heavenly places {RP P1904 E1624 S1894: in} [S1550: to] Christ, ἐν, in (Christ): present in RP P1904 E1624 S1894 F1859=11/13 vs. absent in S1550, F1859=0/13 vs. other readings, F1859=2/13 (Scrivener's oc). We do not understand Scrivener's “εν χριστω c”. We have verified that it is the reading of Scrivener's c. A challenge to F1859.
who: this refers grammatically to God, not to Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph 1:4 καθὼς {RP TR: - } [P1904: καὶ] ἐξελέξατο ἡμᾶς ἐν αὐτῷ πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου, εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἁγίους καὶ ἀμώμους κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ, according to how he {RP TR: - } [P1904: also] chose us in him before the overthrow of the world, for us to be holy and without blemish in his presence in love, καὶ, also: absent in RP TR F1859=13/13 vs. present in P1904 F1859=0/13.
overthrow: AV differs; see Matt 13:35.
without blemish: classically blameless, but the word is used of a lamb (so without blemish) in 1 Pet 1:19. We translate the related word ἄμεμπτος by blameless. For the word ἀμώμητος, [LS] gives unblamed, blameless, but the word is closer to ἄμωμος, and we translate unblemished in Phil 2:15.
Eph 1:5 προορίσας ἡμᾶς εἰς υἱοθεσίαν διὰ Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ εἰς αὐτόν, κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ, having appointed us beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to him, according to the good pleasure of his will, him: rather than the AV's himself, because not reflexive in Greek. Compare Eph 1:4, Eph 1:9. So AV differs.
Eph 1:6 εἰς ἔπαινον δόξης τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ, ἐν ᾗ ἐχαρίτωσεν ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ· to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he showed us grace in the beloved, of his glorious grace ← of the glory of the grace of him, a reverse Hebraic genitive.
Eph 1:7 ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν διὰ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ, τὴν ἄφεσιν τῶν παραπτωμάτων, κατὰ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, according to the richness of his grace, redemption ← the redemption, there only being one. But see Gen 22:9.
Eph 1:8 ἧς ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ καὶ φρονήσει, with which he abounded to us in all wisdom and thoughtfulness,
Eph 1:9 γνωρίσας ἡμῖν τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ, κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ, ἣν προέθετο ἐν αὐτῷ having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, good pleasure which he planned in him, him: reference to Christ (v.5), because not reflexive (i.e. not himself), though it could grammatically refer to mystery (→ it).
Eph 1:10 εἰς οἰκονομίαν τοῦ πληρώματος τῶν καιρῶν, ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι τὰ πάντα ἐν τῷ χριστῷ, {RP P1904: τὰ} [TR: τά τε] {RP P1904: ἐπὶ} [TR: ἐν] τοῖς οὐρανοῖς καὶ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· with a view to the dispensation of the fulness of times, to head up all things in Christ, {RP P1904: those} [TR: both those] {RP P1904: above} [TR: in] the heavens and those on the earth, τε, both: absent in RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. present in TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's m).
ἐπὶ, on, in, over, above, RP P1904 F1859=7/13 vs. ἐν, in, TR F1859=6/13. Nearly a disparity with RP, R=8:7. AV differs textually.
Eph 1:11 ἐν αὐτῷ, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἐκληρώθημεν προορισθέντες κατὰ πρόθεσιν τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐνεργοῦντος κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ, in him ¶ in whom we also have been appointed as an inheritance, having been appointed beforehand according to the plan of him who is active in all things according to the resolve of his will, ¶ Verse division: in AV numbering, Eph 1:11 begins here.
have been appointed as an inheritance ← were appointed by lot, i.e. we are God's inheritance. AV differs (we have obtained an inheritance), also possible, and in itself also true (Eph 1:14). Supporting our translation are [CHW-IHP] pp.145-147, [JBR], [LS], [MM], [MG].
is active in: or works in. English ↴
Eph 1:12 εἰς τὸ εἶναι ἡμᾶς εἰς ἔπαινον {RP P1904: - } [TR: τῆς] δόξης αὐτοῦ, τοὺς προηλπικότας ἐν τῷ χριστῷ· that we should be the praise of his glory, we who put our hope in Christ previously, ↳ gets the word energize from this Greek word. The verb or noun also in Eph 1:19, Eph 1:20, Eph 2:2, Eph 3:7, Eph 3:20, Eph 4:16 and ↴
τῆς, of the (glory): absent in RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. present in TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's h).
Eph 1:13 ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὑμεῖς, ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς σωτηρίας ὑμῶν, ἐν ᾧ καὶ πιστεύσαντες ἐσφραγίσθητε τῷ πνεύματι τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τῷ ἁγίῳ, in whom you too put your hope after you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also after you believed, you were sealed by the holy spirit of promise, ↳ in other epistles. We generally translate exert when there is another word for power or strength. In Col 1:29 we translate invigorate. Compare δυναμόω to empower, κραταιόω to give might, strengthen, and ἰσχύω to be strong.
Eph 1:14 ὅς ἐστιν ἀρραβὼν τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν, εἰς ἀπολύτρωσιν τῆς περιποιήσεως, εἰς ἔπαινον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ. and he is the guarantee of our inheritance, until the redemption of the special possession, to the praise of his glory. and he: AV differs, to modern ears at least (which). This is misleading, as the reference is neither to AV's holy Spirit (neuter), nor promise (feminine).
Eph 1:15 Διὰ τοῦτο κἀγώ, ἀκούσας τὴν καθ' ὑμᾶς πίστιν ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τὴν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους, On account of this, I too, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and love towards all the saints, saints: see Matt 27:52.
Eph 1:16 οὐ παύομαι εὐχαριστῶν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, μνείαν ὑμῶν ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου· do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you on the occasions of my prayers,
Eph 1:17 ἵνα ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, ὁ πατὴρ τῆς δόξης, δῴη ὑμῖν πνεῦμα σοφίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως, ἐν ἐπιγνώσει αὐτοῦ· that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in acknowledgment of him,
Eph 1:18 πεφωτισμένους τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῆς {RP P1904: καρδίας} [TR: διανοίας] ὑμῶν, εἰς τὸ εἰδέναι ὑμᾶς τίς ἐστιν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς κλήσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ τίς ὁ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις, and give you eyes of your {RP P1904: heart} [TR: understanding] which have been enlightened, so that you may know what the hope of his calling is, and what the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in holy places is, καρδίας heart, RP P1904 F1859=12/13 VulgC VulgS SyrP (but [GML] renders understanding) vs. διανοίας understanding, TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's d). AV differs textually.
eyes ... which have been enlightened: AV differs. Alternatives: (1) that (you) may be enlightened in respect of the eyes (supplying εἰς τὸ εἶναι ὑμᾶς at the start); (2) the eyes ... having been enlightened (accusative absolute, as AV; compare Acts 26:3).
in holy places: this may mean the sanctuary. See Heb 9:2-3. AV differs (in the saints).
Eph 1:19 καὶ τί τὸ ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ εἰς ἡμᾶς τοὺς πιστεύοντας, κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ and what the exceeding greatness of his power is in us who believe, according to the action of his strong might, in ← into. Pregnant use, compare Matt 18:6.
his strong might ← the might of his strength, a Hebraic genitive.
Eph 1:20 ἣν ἐνήργησεν ἐν τῷ χριστῷ, ἐγείρας αὐτὸν ἐκ {RP: τῶν} [P1904 TR: - ] νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις, which he exerted in Christ, when he raised him from {RP: the} [P1904 TR: the] dead and seated him at his right hand in the upper-heavenly places, τῶν , the (dead): present in RP F1859=8/13 vs. absent in P1904 TR F1859=5/13 (Scrivener's acfkm). Nearly a disparity with RP, R=8:7.
when he raised ← having raised. See Matt 23:20.
Eph 1:21 ὑπεράνω πάσης ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐξουσίας καὶ δυνάμεως καὶ κυριότητος, καὶ παντὸς ὀνόματος ὀνομαζομένου οὐ μόνον ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι· far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name which is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come,
Eph 1:22 καὶ πάντα ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν κεφαλὴν ὑπὲρ πάντα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, and when he put everything in subjection under his feet and made him head over all things to the church, Ps 8:7MT (Ps 8:6AV).
church: see Matt 16:18 and the next verse.
Eph 1:23 ἥτις ἐστὶν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ {RP P1904: τὰ} [TR: - ] πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν πληρουμένου. which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all for himself, τὰ, the (all): present in RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. absent in TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's e).
for himself: from the middle voice of the verb.
Eph 2:1 Καὶ ὑμᾶς ὄντας νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις, including you who are dead to transgressions and sins, It is not clear what verb / preposition καὶ ὑμᾶς, including you, is the object of. Possibilities are:
- εἰς, in, v.1:19.
- πληρουμένου, (who) fills, v.1:23.
- συνεζῳοποίησεν, (he) made alive, v.2:5. (The AV supplies hath He quickened.)
- Perhaps this is just an accusative of respect: Now what follows concerns you who are...
to transgressions and sins ← to the transgressions and the sins. AV differs (in transgressions and sins), ↴
Eph 2:2 ἐν αἷς ποτὲ περιεπατήσατε κατὰ τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ κόσμου τούτου, κατὰ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ ἀέρος, τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ νῦν ἐνεργοῦντος ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς ἀπειθείας· in which you once walked, according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit which is now active in the sons of disobedience, ↳ which is inaccurate; the dative is as in Rom 6:2 and Rom 6:11, where the AV correctly translates dead to sin ... dead unto sin. The issue is repeated in Eph 2:5.
disobedience: or disbelief.
Eph 2:3 ἐν οἷς καὶ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἀνεστράφημέν ποτε ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς σαρκὸς ἡμῶν, ποιοῦντες τὰ θελήματα τῆς σαρκὸς καὶ τῶν διανοιῶν, καὶ ἦμεν τέκνα φύσει ὀργῆς, ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί· among whom we all also once had our mode of life, in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh, and of the mind, and we were children of wrath by nature, as the rest are too, will ← wills.
mind ← minds.
Eph 2:4 ὁ δὲ θεός, πλούσιος ὢν ἐν ἐλέει, διὰ τὴν πολλὴν ἀγάπην αὐτοῦ ἣν ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς, but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us, great ← much.
Eph 2:5 καὶ ὄντας ἡμᾶς νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν συνεζῳοποίησεν τῷ χριστῷ - χάριτί ἐστε σεσωσμένοι - made us, being dead to transgressions, alive together with Christ – you have been saved by grace – dead to transgressions: AV differs, as in Eph 2:1.
Eph 2:6 καὶ συνήγειρεν, καὶ συνεκάθισεν ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· and he raised us together and seated us together in the upper-heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:7 ἵνα ἐνδείξηται ἐν τοῖς αἰῶσιν τοῖς ἐπερχομένοις τὸν ὑπερβάλλοντα πλοῦτον τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ ἐν χρηστότητι ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· that in the ages to come he might exhibit the exceeding richness of his grace in kindness to us in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:8 τῇ γὰρ χάριτί ἐστε σεσῳσμένοι διὰ τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐξ ὑμῶν· θεοῦ τὸ δῶρον· for you have been saved by grace, through faith, and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, this: the word this does not grammatically agree with faith or grace, which are feminine. It is neuter, and so refers to a whole principle or system.
Eph 2:9 οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, ἵνα μή τις καυχήσηται. not of works, so that no-one should boast,
Eph 2:10 Αὐτοῦ γάρ ἐσμεν ποίημα, κτισθέντες ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἐπὶ ἔργοις ἀγαθοῖς, οἷς προητοίμασεν ὁ θεός, ἵνα ἐν αὐτοῖς περιπατήσωμεν. for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, to the intent that we should walk in them.
Eph 2:11 Διὸ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ὑμεῖς ποτὲ τὰ ἔθνη ἐν σαρκί, οἱ λεγόμενοι ἀκροβυστία ὑπὸ τῆς λεγομένης περιτομῆς ἐν σαρκὶ χειροποιήτου, Therefore remember that you who were once Gentiles in the flesh, called uncircumcision by those called circumcision in the flesh, circumcision made by hands, uncircumcision: see Rom 2:25. See Col 2:11 for a circumcision made without hands.
those ← the.
Eph 2:12 ὅτι ἦτε ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ χωρὶς χριστοῦ, ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς πολιτείας τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ξένοι τῶν διαθηκῶν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, ἐλπίδα μὴ ἔχοντες, καὶ ἄθεοι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ. that you were at that time without Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise, not having any hope and without God in the world,
Eph 2:13 Νυνὶ δὲ ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ὑμεῖς οἵ ποτε ὄντες μακρὰν ἐγγὺς ἐγενήθητε ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ χριστοῦ. but now in Christ Jesus you who were once far off have been made near by the blood of Christ,
Eph 2:14 Αὐτὸς γάρ ἐστιν ἡ εἰρήνη ἡμῶν, ὁ ποιήσας τὰ ἀμφότερα ἕν, καὶ τὸ μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ λύσας, for he is our peace, who made both one and demolished the middle wall of partition,
Eph 2:15 τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ αὐτοῦ, τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασιν, καταργήσας· ἵνα τοὺς δύο κτίσῃ ἐν ἑαυτῷ εἰς ἕνα καινὸν ἄνθρωπον, ποιῶν εἰρήνην, having abolished the enmity by his flesh, the law of the commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, making peace,
Eph 2:16 καὶ ἀποκαταλλάξῃ τοὺς ἀμφοτέρους ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι τῷ θεῷ διὰ τοῦ σταυροῦ, ἀποκτείνας τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν αὐτῷ· and reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having eradicated the enmity by it. reconcile: this word has a prefix (ἀπο-) which can be intensifying, so it could be translated thoroughly reconcile, or the prefix could convey the notion of back, restored, giving reconcile again, in the sense of being back to before the enmity.
having eradicated ← having killed.
Eph 2:17 καὶ ἐλθὼν εὐηγγελίσατο εἰρήνην ὑμῖν τοῖς μακρὰν καὶ τοῖς ἐγγύς· And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near, Isa 57:19.
Eph 2:18 ὅτι δι' αὐτοῦ ἔχομεν τὴν προσαγωγὴν οἱ ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα. for through him both of us have access by one spirit to the father.
Eph 2:19 Ἄρα οὖν οὐκέτι ἐστὲ ξένοι καὶ πάροικοι, ἀλλὰ συμπολῖται τῶν ἁγίων καὶ οἰκεῖοι τοῦ θεοῦ, So then, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but joint citizens of the holy places and are God's household residents, of the holy places: genitive. AV differs (with the saints).
Eph 2:20 ἐποικοδομηθέντες ἐπὶ τῷ θεμελίῳ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ προφητῶν, ὄντος ἀκρογωνιαίου αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the keystone, Ps 118:22.
keystone ← main corner / angle.
Eph 2:21 ἐν ᾧ πᾶσα {RP P1904: - } [TR: ἡ] οἰκοδομὴ συναρμολογουμένη αὔξει εἰς ναὸν ἅγιον ἐν κυρίῳ, in whom {RP P1904: every building} [TR: the whole building], as it is fitted together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord, ἡ, the (whole building): absent in RP P1904 F1859=13/13 vs. present in TR F1859=0/13. AV differs textually.
Eph 2:22 ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὑμεῖς συνοικοδομεῖσθε εἰς κατοικητήριον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν πνεύματι. in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in spirit.
Eph 3:1 Τούτου χάριν ἐγὼ Παῦλος ὁ δέσμιος τοῦ χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν, For this reason, I Paul the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you, the Gentiles, say that, There is no obvious main verb whose subject is I Paul, but it can be a pending nominative picked up by To me in verse 8.
Christ Jesus: AV differs in word order, Jesus Christ.
Eph 3:2 εἴγε ἠκούσατε τὴν οἰκονομίαν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς δοθείσης μοι εἰς ὑμᾶς, if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which has been given to me for you, if indeed: the apodosis to the condition is in Eph 3:13.
has been given ← was given.
for ← into, (destined) for.
Eph 3:3 ὅτι κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν ἐγνώρισέν μοι τὸ μυστήριον, καθὼς προέγραψα ἐν ὀλίγῳ, namely that by revelation he made the mystery known to me, as I wrote before briefly,
Eph 3:4 πρὸς ὃ δύνασθε ἀναγινώσκοντες νοῆσαι τὴν σύνεσίν μου ἐν τῷ μυστηρίῳ τοῦ χριστοῦ· in the light of which by reading you can appreciate my understanding of the mystery of Christ, in the light of which ← towards which (no word for literal light).
by reading: gerundial use of the participle.
of ← in.
Eph 3:5 ὃ {RP P1904: - } [TR: ἐν] ἑτέραις γενεαῖς οὐκ ἐγνωρίσθη τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὡς νῦν ἀπεκαλύφθη τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀποστόλοις αὐτοῦ καὶ προφήταις ἐν πνεύματι· which was not made known {RP P1904: to other generations,} [TR: in other generations] to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by spirit, ἐν, in: absent in RP P1904 F1859=12/12 vs. present in TR F1859=0/12.
Eph 3:6 εἶναι τὰ ἔθνη συγκληρονόμα καὶ σύσσωμα καὶ συμμέτοχα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ χριστῷ, διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, that the Gentiles should be joint heirs and a joint body, and joint partakers of his promise in Christ through the gospel,
Eph 3:7 οὗ ἐγενόμην διάκονος κατὰ τὴν δωρεὰν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ, τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ. of which I have become a minister by the gift of the grace of God which was given to me by the exertion of his power, minister: in the sense of servant, one who supplies needs.
by (2x) ← according to.
Eph 3:8 Ἐμοὶ τῷ ἐλαχιστοτέρῳ πάντων {RP: - } [P1904 TR: τῶν] ἁγίων ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις αὕτη, ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εὐαγγελίσασθαι τὸν ἀνεξιχνίαστον πλοῦτον τοῦ χριστοῦ, to me, the very least of all {RP: - } [P1904 TR: the] saints, this grace was given: to preach among the Gentiles the untraceable richness of Christ, τῶν, (of all) the: absent in RP F1859=12/12 vs. present in P1904 TR F1859=0/12. A case of collusion between P1904 and TR?
very least ← leastest, a comparative ending (which can stand for a superlative) to an already superlative adjective.
saints: see Matt 27:52.
Eph 3:9 καὶ φωτίσαι πάντας τίς ἡ {RP P1904: οἰκονομία} [TR: κοινωνία] τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ ἀποκεκρυμμένου ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων ἐν τῷ θεῷ τῷ τὰ πάντα κτίσαντι διὰ Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, and to enlighten everyone as to what the {RP P1904: dispensation} [TR: fellowship] of the mystery is, which was hidden from the ages in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ, οἰκονομία, dispensation, RP P1904 F1859=11/13 vs. κοινωνία, fellowship, TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's e) vs. κονομία (a misspelling probably from an exemplar reading οἰκονομία, dispensation), F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's k*). AV differs textually. RP HF on the Majority Text side and NA26 and other critical editions attest to a dispensation of the mystery.
was hidden: having been hidden.
Eph 3:10 ἵνα γνωρισθῇ νῦν ταῖς ἀρχαῖς καὶ ταῖς ἐξουσίαις ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις διὰ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἡ πολυποίκιλος σοφία τοῦ θεοῦ, in order that the intricate wisdom of God might now be made known to the realms and the authorities in the upper-heavenly places through the church, intricate ← much variegated.
church: see Matt 16:18.
Eph 3:11 κατὰ πρόθεσιν τῶν αἰώνων ἣν ἐποίησεν ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν· according to the purpose of the ages which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, accomplished ← made. AV differs somewhat, reading purposed, which is possible, given the preceding word πρόθεσις.
Eph 3:12 ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν παρρησίαν καὶ τὴν προσαγωγὴν ἐν πεποιθήσει διὰ τῆς πίστεως αὐτοῦ. in whom we have assurance and access in confidence through his faithfulness, his faithfulness ← faith of him, which we take as a subjective genitive. An objective genitive, which is also possible, would mean faith in him, but context and the definite article τῆς militate for the subjective genitive.
Eph 3:13 Διὸ αἰτοῦμαι μὴ ἐκκακεῖν ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσίν μου ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἐστὶν δόξα ὑμῶν. then I ask you not to lose heart in my tribulations for you, which are your glory. then ← therefore, introducing the apodosis to the conditional clause started at Eph 1:2. Compare Hebrew ‫אִם ... לָכֵן‬ in Jer 5:2, Jer 23:38.
which are: the relative ἥτις, which and verb (literally: is) agree ↴
Eph 3:14 Τούτου χάριν κάμπτω τὰ γόνατά μου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, For this reason I bow my knees to the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ↳ with the predicate glory, not the antecedent tribulations. This is probably a case of attraction of the relative pronoun to the predicate, which is unusual in the NT. Compare Col 1:27.
Eph 3:15 ἐξ οὗ πᾶσα πατριὰ ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς ὀνομάζεται, from whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named,
Eph 3:16 ἵνα δῴη ὑμῖν, κατὰ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ, δυνάμει κραταιωθῆναι διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον, that he may grant you, according to the richness of his glory, to be strengthened by power through his spirit in the inner man, in ← into. Pregnant use, compare Matt 18:6.
Eph 3:17 κατοικῆσαι τὸν χριστὸν διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν· that Christ may dwell through faith in your hearts,
Eph 3:18 ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι ἵνα ἐξισχύσητε καταλαβέσθαι σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις τί τὸ πλάτος καὶ μῆκος καὶ βάθος καὶ ὕψος, that you, being rooted and founded in love, ¶ may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and depth and height are, ¶ Verse division: in TR and AV numbering, Eph 3:18 begins here, the English that you requiring moving (→ that you may have strength).

Eph 3:19 γνῶναί τε τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν τῆς γνώσεως ἀγάπην τοῦ χριστοῦ, ἵνα πληρωθῆτε εἰς πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ θεοῦ. and to know the love of Christ, which surpasses knowledge, in order that you may be filled to the extent of all the fulness of God.
Eph 3:20 Τῷ δὲ δυναμένῳ ὑπὲρ πάντα ποιῆσαι ὑπὲρ ἐκπερισσοῦ ὧν αἰτούμεθα ἢ νοοῦμεν, κατὰ τὴν δύναμιν τὴν ἐνεργουμένην ἐν ἡμῖν, To him who is able to do superabundantly beyond everything which we ask or conceive of, according to the power exerted in us,

Eph 4:1 Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς ἐγώ, ὁ δέσμιος ἐν κυρίῳ, ἀξίως περιπατῆσαι τῆς κλήσεως ἧς ἐκλήθητε, I, the prisoner in the Lord, appeal to you therefore to walk worthy of the calling with which you have been called,
Eph 4:2 μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πρᾳότητος, μετὰ μακροθυμίας, ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων ἐν ἀγάπῃ, with all humility and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love,
Eph 4:3 σπουδάζοντες τηρεῖν τὴν ἑνότητα τοῦ πνεύματος ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης. making an effort to guard the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. bond ← joint bond.
Eph 4:4 Ἓν σῶμα καὶ ἓν πνεῦμα, καθὼς καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν μιᾷ ἐλπίδι τῆς κλήσεως ὑμῶν· There is one body and one spirit, even as you for your part have been called in one hope of your calling, for your part ← also.
have been called ← were called.
Eph 4:5 εἷς κύριος, μία πίστις, ἓν βάπτισμα, one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 εἷς θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ πάντων, ὁ ἐπὶ πάντων, καὶ διὰ πάντων, καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν {RP P1904: ἡμῖν} [TR: ὑμῖν]. one God and father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in {RP P1904: us} [TR: you] all. ἡμῖν, us, RP P1904 F1859=11/12 vs. ὑμῖν, you, TR F1859=1/12 (Scrivener's k). AV differs textually.
Eph 4:7 Ἑνὶ δὲ ἑκάστῳ ἡμῶν ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τῆς δωρεᾶς τοῦ χριστοῦ. To each one of us, then, grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:8 Διὸ λέγει, Ἀναβὰς εἰς ὕψος ᾐχμαλώτευσεν αἰχμαλωσίαν, καὶ ἔδωκεν δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις. Therefore he says,

“When he ascended on high,

He took captivity captive

And gave gifts to men.”

 Ps 68:19MT (Ps 68:18AV). See also Judg 5:12.
Eph 4:9 Τὸ δέ, Ἀνέβη, τί ἐστιν εἰ μὴ ὅτι καὶ κατέβη πρῶτον εἰς τὰ κατώτερα μέρη τῆς γῆς; Now the word “he ascended” – what does it mean but that he also first descended to the lowest parts of the earth? does it mean ← is (it).
lowest ← lower. Comparative for superlative.
Eph 4:10 Ὁ καταβάς, αὐτός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ ἀναβὰς ὑπεράνω πάντων τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἵνα πληρώσῃ τὰ πάντα. He who descended is himself also he who ascended far above all the heavens, in order to fill all things,
Eph 4:11 Καὶ αὐτὸς ἔδωκεν τοὺς μὲν ἀποστόλους, τοὺς δὲ προφήτας, τοὺς δὲ εὐαγγελιστάς, τοὺς δὲ ποιμένας καὶ διδασκάλους, and he himself appointed some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, some to be pastors and teachers, pastors ← shepherds.
Eph 4:12 πρὸς τὸν καταρτισμὸν τῶν ἁγίων, εἰς ἔργον διακονίας, εἰς οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ χριστοῦ· for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ, saints: see Matt 27:52.
Eph 4:13 μέχρι καταντήσωμεν οἱ πάντες εἰς τὴν ἑνότητα τῆς πίστεως καὶ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰς ἄνδρα τέλειον, εἰς μέτρον ἡλικίας τοῦ πληρώματος τοῦ χριστοῦ· until we all attain the unity of the faith and of acknowledgment of the son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ,
Eph 4:14 ἵνα μηκέτι ὦμεν νήπιοι, κλυδωνιζόμενοι καὶ περιφερόμενοι παντὶ ἀνέμῳ τῆς διδασκαλίας, ἐν τῇ κυβείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἐν πανουργίᾳ πρὸς τὴν {RP-text P1904 TR: μεθοδείαν} [RP-marg: μεθοδίαν] τῆς πλάνης· in order no longer to be infants, tossed by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of hand of men, by roguery intent on deceitful craftiness, μεθοδείαν, craftiness (1), RP-text P1904 TR F1859=9/12 vs. μεθοδίαν, craftiness (2), RP-marg F1859=3/12 (Scrivener's emn).
deceitful craftiness ← craftiness of deceit, a Hebraic genitive.
Eph 4:15 ἀληθεύοντες δὲ ἐν ἀγάπῃ αὐξήσωμεν εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλή, ὁ χριστός, but rather that we, proceeding with the truth in love, may grow up in respect of all things to him who is the head, Christ, proceeding with the truth: a single verb of root truth in Greek.
Eph 4:16 ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα συναρμολογούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον διὰ πάσης ἁφῆς τῆς ἐπιχορηγίας, κατ' ἐνέργειαν ἐν μέτρῳ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου μέρους, τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ σώματος ποιεῖται εἰς οἰκοδομὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ. from whom the whole body, being fitted together and joined up by every sustaining joint with invigoration appropriate to each individual part, brings about increase of the body to the edification of itself in love. with ← according to.
appropriate to ← in measure of.
individual ← one.
Eph 4:17 Τοῦτο οὖν λέγω καὶ μαρτύρομαι ἐν κυρίῳ, μηκέτι ὑμᾶς περιπατεῖν, καθὼς καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἔθνη περιπατεῖ ἐν ματαιότητι τοῦ νοὸς αὐτῶν, This, therefore, I say and urge in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, other ← the remaining; the rest of.
Eph 4:18 ἐσκοτισμένοι τῇ διανοίᾳ, ὄντες ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ τὴν ἄγνοιαν τὴν οὖσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς, διὰ τὴν πώρωσιν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν· darkened in their understanding, being alienated from the life of God on account of the ignorance which is within them, and on account of the hardness of their hearts, hardness: AV differs, reading blindness, which may not rest on a textual issue; it may be a looser translation, but it follows VulgC VulgS (caecitatem).
hearts ← heart.
Eph 4:19 οἵτινες ἀπηλγηκότες ἑαυτοὺς παρέδωκαν τῇ ἀσελγείᾳ, εἰς ἐργασίαν ἀκαθαρσίας πάσης ἐν πλεονεξίᾳ. who, being desensitized, have given themselves over to debauchery, intent on a pursuit of all uncleanness with greed. being desensitized ← having desensitized.
greed: or fraudulence. See 1 Cor 5:10.
Eph 4:20 Ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἐμάθετε τὸν χριστόν, But you have not learned Christ like that,
Eph 4:21 εἴγε αὐτὸν ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐδιδάχθητε, καθώς ἐστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν τῷ Ἰησοῦ· if at any rate you have heard him and have been taught in accordance with him, as the truth is in Jesus,
Eph 4:22 ἀποθέσθαι ὑμᾶς, κατὰ τὴν προτέραν ἀναστροφήν, τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸν φθειρόμενον κατὰ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ἀπάτης· that you should put away the old man of your former conduct, who is corrupt with his deceitful desires, of ← according to.
with ← according to.
deceitful desires ← desires of deceit, a Hebraic genitive.
Eph 4:23 ἀνανεοῦσθαι δὲ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ νοὸς ὑμῶν, and that you should be renewed by the spirit of your mind, by ← to, for, or by (agent or instrument of the passive, dative).
Eph 4:24 καὶ ἐνδύσασθαι τὸν καινὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸν κατὰ θεὸν κτισθέντα ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ὁσιότητι τῆς ἀληθείας. and put on the new man, who is created in accordance with God in righteousness and true holiness. is created ← having been created (aorist).
true holiness ← holiness of truth, which we take as a Hebraic genitive.
Eph 4:25 Διὸ ἀποθέμενοι τὸ ψεῦδος λαλεῖτε ἀλήθειαν ἕκαστος μετὰ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ· ὅτι ἐσμὲν ἀλλήλων μέλη. Therefore, having put away the lie, speak the truth, each one with his neighbour, for we are members of one another. Zech 8:16.
Eph 4:26 Ὀργίζεσθε καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε· ὁ ἥλιος μὴ ἐπιδυέτω ἐπὶ τῷ παροργισμῷ ὑμῶν· Stand in awe and do not sin. Don't let the sun go down on your anger, Ps 4:5MT (Ps 4:4AV).
stand in awe and do not sin: AV differs (be ye angry and sin not). By classical Greek standards, Eph 4:26a does read be angry and do not sin, but such a translation is totally incompatible with the rest of the verse and Eph 4:31, Col 3:8, Ps 37:8 etc., which is why we also reject the idea of man's righteous anger, or ↴
Eph 4:27 {RP P1904: μηδὲ} [TR: μήτε] δίδοτε τόπον τῷ διαβόλῳ. nor give the devil any room. ↳ temporary anger, or anger through infirmity. We take Eph 4:26a as a Semitic-Greek translation of Ps 4:5MT (Ps 4:4AV), as in (perhaps from) the Septuagint. The Hebrew ↴
μηδὲ, nor; not even, RP P1904 F1859=9/12 vs. μήτε, and not, TR F1859=3/12 (Scrivener's abe). No difference in our English.
Eph 4:28 Ὁ κλέπτων μηκέτι κλεπτέτω· μᾶλλον δὲ κοπιάτω, ἐργαζόμενος τὸ ἀγαθὸν ταῖς χερσίν, ἵνα ἔχῃ μεταδιδόναι τῷ χρείαν ἔχοντι. Let him who steals steal no more, but rather labour, working at what is good with his hands, in order that he may have something to share with him who is in need. ↳ is ‫רִגְזוּ וְאַל־תֶּחֱטָאוּ‬, tremble ↔ stand in awe ↔ be temperamentally affected ↔ ὀργίζεσθε, and do not sin. Similarly Gen 45:24 ‫אַל־תִּרְגְּזוּ‬, do not be perturbed. Compare “Fear and trembling” in Phil 2:12. Compare also Heb 12:28. It is curious that the Hebrew ‫רָגַז‬ and the Greek ὀργίζομαι have the same fundamental consonants.
Eph 4:29 Πᾶς λόγος σαπρὸς ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν μὴ ἐκπορευέσθω, ἀλλ' εἴ τις ἀγαθὸς πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν τῆς χρείας, ἵνα δῷ χάριν τοῖς ἀκούουσιν. Let no corrupt word come out of your mouth, but rather some good word for edification of what is needful, in order that it may give grace to those hearing it, but rather ← but if / but that.
Eph 4:30 Καὶ μὴ λυπεῖτε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἐν ᾧ ἐσφραγίσθητε εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπολυτρώσεως. and do not grieve the holy spirit of God, with which you have been sealed for the day of redemption. for: or until; literally: into.
Eph 4:31 Πᾶσα πικρία καὶ θυμὸς καὶ ὀργὴ καὶ κραυγὴ καὶ βλασφημία ἀρθήτω ἀφ' ὑμῶν, σὺν πάσῃ κακίᾳ· Let all bitterness and rage and anger and clamour and blasphemy be put away from you, along with all malice,
Eph 4:32 γίνεσθε δὲ εἰς ἀλλήλους χρηστοί, εὔσπλαγχνοι, χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς, καθὼς καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἐν χριστῷ ἐχαρίσατο {RP P1904: ἡμῖν} [TR: ὑμῖν]. but be kind to each other, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has for his part forgiven {RP P1904: us} [TR: you] in Christ. ἡμῖν, us, RP P1904 F1859=10/12 vs. ὑμῖν, you, TR F1859=2/12 (Scrivener's hm). AV differs textually.
forgiving ... forgiven: or dealing ... dealt kindly with.
one another ← yourselves, but this is the reflexive pronoun for the reciprocal.
for his part ← also.
Eph 5:1 Γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ θεοῦ, ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητά· So be imitators of God, as beloved children,
Eph 5:2 καὶ περιπατεῖτε ἐν ἀγάπῃ, καθὼς καὶ ὁ χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς, καὶ παρέδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν προσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας. and walk in love, as also Christ loved us and gave himself up on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God as a sweet scent. as ← into.
Eph 5:3 Πορνεία δὲ καὶ πᾶσα ἀκαθαρσία ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν, καθὼς πρέπει ἁγίοις· But as for fornication and all uncleanness or fraud, let them not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints, fraud: or covetousness. See 1 Cor 5:10.
them ← it.
saints: see Matt 27:52.
Eph 5:4 καὶ αἰσχρότης, καὶ μωρολογία, ἢ εὐτραπελία, τὰ οὐκ ἀνήκοντα· ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία. nor disgracefulness and foolish talk or jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks,
Eph 5:5 Τοῦτο γάρ ἐστε γινώσκοντες, ὅτι πᾶς πόρνος, ἢ ἀκάθαρτος, ἢ πλεονέκτης, ὅς ἐστιν εἰδωλολάτρης, οὐκ ἔχει κληρονομίαν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ. for be aware of this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or fraudster, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. be aware: AV differs somewhat, reading ye know, indicative, which is also possible.
fraudster: or covetous person, avaricious person. See 1 Cor 5:10.
of Christ and God: according to the Granville Sharp rule, one article for two nouns unifies them. See Rom 1:7. AV differs (of Christ and of God).
Eph 5:6 Μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω κενοῖς λόγοις· διὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας. Let no-one deceive you with vain words, for on account of such things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.
Eph 5:7 Μὴ οὖν γίνεσθε συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν· Therefore do not be joint partakers of these things, partakers of these things: AV differs, reading partakers with them, which is possible, but we take the genitive as denoting ↴
Eph 5:8 ἦτε γάρ ποτε σκότος, νῦν δὲ φῶς ἐν κυρίῳ· ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε - for you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord; walk as children of light ↳ what is partaken of, as in verse 3:6. Also, we would expect a dative for the joint partaker after a verb compounded with σύν.
Eph 5:9 ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ πνεύματος ἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ - (for the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
Eph 5:10 δοκιμάζοντες τί ἐστιν εὐάρεστον τῷ κυρίῳ· as you test what is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Eph 5:11 καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε· And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather censure them too.
Eph 5:12 τὰ γὰρ κρυφῇ γινόμενα ὑπ' αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστιν καὶ λέγειν. For it is a shame even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
Eph 5:13 Τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται· πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστίν. But all the things which are censured by the light are made manifest. For everything that makes manifest is light. makes manifest: We take φανερούμενον as the middle voice, so literally makes manifest for itself. It is also passive in form, i.e. is made manifest, which seems less logical.
Eph 5:14 Διὸ λέγει, {RP P1904: Ἔγειρε} [TR: Ἔγειραι] ὁ καθεύδων καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ χριστός. Therefore he says,

“Awake, you who are asleep,

And arise from the dead,

And Christ will shine on you.”

 ἔγειρε, arise; awake (present active), RP P1904 HF F1859=2/12 (Scrivener's en) vs. ἔγειραι, arise; awake (aorist middle), TR F1859=10/12. A strong disparity with RP, R=3:11.
Isa 60:1, Isa 60:2 (allusion).
you: singular, from the verb.
Eph 5:15 Βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκριβῶς περιπατεῖτε, μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι, ἀλλ' ὡς σοφοί, See then that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise folk, but as wise, that ← how.
Eph 5:16 ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιν. buying up the time, because the days are evil.
Eph 5:17 Διὰ τοῦτο μὴ γίνεσθε ἄφρονες, ἀλλὰ συνιέντες τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου. On account of this, do not become foolish, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Eph 5:18 Καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἐστὶν ἀσωτία, ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν πνεύματι, And do not become drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the spirit, dissipation: or wastefulness. Etymologically, the word means lack of safety / salvation.
with: ἐν + dative, i.e. with content consisting of, or perhaps: by (agent / instrument of). Content of filling is usually denoted by the genitive. Content is denoted by the plain dative in 2 Cor 7:4. For the fruit of the spirit see Eph 5:9 and Gal 5:22-23.
Eph 5:19 λαλοῦντες ἑαυτοῖς ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ᾄδοντες καὶ ψάλλοντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ κυρίῳ, speaking to each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and playing a melody in your heart to the Lord, to each other: we tentatively take ἑαυτοῖς, the reflexive pronoun, literally to yourselves (individually), as standing for ἀλλήλοις, the reciprocal pronoun, to each other. Even in classical Greek, this was common (see [TYAG], under the heading Reflexive and reciprocal pronouns). An ↴
Eph 5:20 εὐχαριστοῦντες πάντοτε ὑπὲρ πάντων ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί, always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and the father, ↳ indisputable example is Eph 4:32 (forgiving each other). See also Col 3:13, Col 3:16. The AV's to yourselves suggests the individual sense, but it is ambiguous. See also John 12:19.
Eph 5:21 ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις ἐν φόβῳ {RP-text P1904: χριστοῦ} [RP-marg TR: θεοῦ]. submitting to each other in the fear {RP-text P1904: of Christ} [RP-marg TR: of God]. χριστοῦ, of Christ, RP-text P1904 HF-Mpt-app SyrP VulgC VulgS F1859=4/12 (Scrivener's cfkm) vs. θεοῦ, of God, RP-marg TR HF-Mpt-text F1859=8/12. A disparity with RP-text, R=5:9. AV differs textually.
Eph 5:22 Αἱ γυναῖκες, τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὑποτάσσεσθε, ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ. You wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
Eph 5:23 Ὅτι {RP: - } [P1904 TR: ὁ] ἀνήρ ἐστιν κεφαλὴ τῆς γυναικός, ὡς καὶ ὁ χριστὸς κεφαλὴ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ αὐτός ἐστιν σωτὴρ τοῦ σώματος. for {RP: a} [P1904 TR: the] husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, as he is the saviour of the body. ὁ, the (husband): absent in RP F1859=9/12 vs. present in P1904 TR F1859=3/12 (Scrivener's blo).
church: see Matt 16:18.
Eph 5:24 Ἀλλ' ὥσπερ ἡ ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ χριστῷ, οὕτως καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί. But as the church submits to Christ, so should wives do to their own husbands in every respect. church: see Matt 16:18.
so ← so also (otiose καί).
Eph 5:25 Οἱ ἄνδρες, ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς· Husbands, love your own wives, as also Christ loved the church and gave himself up for it, church: see Matt 16:18.
Eph 5:26 ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ, καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι, in order that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the water-laver: by the word, water-laver ← washing place of the water.
Eph 5:27 ἵνα παραστήσῃ αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ ἔνδοξον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, μὴ ἔχουσαν σπῖλον ἢ ῥυτίδα ἤ τι τῶν τοιούτων, ἀλλ' ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος. in order that he might present the church to himself as glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. the church ← the church itself (αὐτὴν is in the predicative position), or, taking the pronoun as proleptic and appositional, it ... the church. See Matt 16:18.
Eph 5:28 Οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα. Ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα, ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ· In this way husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself,
Eph 5:29 οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν, ἀλλ' ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτήν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ κύριος τὴν ἐκκλησίαν· for no-one ever hated his own flesh, but everyone nourishes and cherishes it as the Lord for his part does the church, for his part ← also.
church: see Matt 16:18.
Eph 5:30 ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ, ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτοῦ. for we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 Ἀντὶ τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα, καὶ προσκολληθήσεται πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and he will cleave to his wife, and the two will be one flesh. Gen 2:24.
Eph 5:32 Τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν· ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν. This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and concerning the church. concerning (2x) ← into, but here replacing περί + gen., as in Acts 2:25, Rom 16:19.
church: see Matt 16:18.
Eph 5:33 Πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ' ἕνα, ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν· ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα φοβῆται τὸν ἄνδρα. But still, let each of you individually so love his wife as himself, but let the wife see that she reveres her husband. reveres ← fears.

Eph 6:6 μὴ κατ' {RP TR: ὀφθαλμοδουλείαν} [P1904: ὀφθαλμοδουλίαν] ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι, ἀλλ' ὡς δοῦλοι τοῦ χριστοῦ, ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκ ψυχῆς, not in the manner of eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, ὀφθαλμοδουλείαν, eye-service (1), RP TR F1859=7/13 vs. ὀφθαλμοδουλίαν, eye-service (2), P1904 F1859=6/13. Nearly a disparity with RP, R=8:7.
heart ← soul.
Eph 6:7 μετ' εὐνοίας δουλεύοντες {RP P1904 S1894: ὡς} [S1550 E1624: - ] τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις· serving with goodwill, {RP P1904 S1894: as} [S1550 E1624: - ] to the Lord and not to men, ὡς, as: present in RP P1904 S1894 F1859=5/13 vs. absent in S1550 E1624 F1859=8/13. A weak disparity with RP, R=7:9.
Eph 6:8 εἰδότες ὅτι ὃ ἐάν τι ἕκαστος ποιήσῃ ἀγαθόν, τοῦτο κομιεῖται παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου, εἴτε δοῦλος, εἴτε ἐλεύθερος. knowing that whatever good each one does, he will receive it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man. receive it ← receive this.
Eph 6:9 Καὶ οἱ κύριοι, τὰ αὐτὰ ποιεῖτε πρὸς αὐτούς, ἀνιέντες τὴν ἀπειλήν· εἰδότες ὅτι καὶ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, καὶ προσωποληψία οὐκ ἔστιν παρ' αὐτῷ. And masters, act in the same way to them, forbearing threatening, knowing that your own master for his part is in the heavens, and there is no partiality with him. master ← lord. We do not capitalize here because the word is used obliquely.

of this dark age ← of the darkness of this age. A reverse Hebraic genitive, with the nomen regens as the adjective. Compare Heb 10:27, Heb 11:34.
Eph 6:13 Διὰ τοῦτο ἀναλάβετε τὴν πανοπλίαν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα δυνηθῆτε ἀντιστῆναι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πονηρᾷ, καὶ ἅπαντα κατεργασάμενοι στῆναι. On account of this, take up the full armour of God in order that you may be able to withstand on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Στῆτε οὖν περιζωσάμενοι τὴν ὀσφὺν ὑμῶν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν θώρακα τῆς δικαιοσύνης, Stand, therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

A case of collusion between P1904 and TR?
Isa 59:17.
the spirit being ← which is, but ↴
Eph 6:18 διὰ πάσης προσευχῆς καὶ δεήσεως προσευχόμενοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν πνεύματι, καὶ εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἀγρυπνοῦντες ἐν πάσῃ προσκαρτερήσει καὶ δεήσει περὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων, with all prayer and supplication, praying on every occasion in spirit, and being watchful to this very end in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints, ↳ in English this would be ambiguous as to the antecedent (sword or spirit?), whereas the neuter relative pronoun in Greek indicates that the antecedent is the spirit.

A disparity with RP, R=4:10. AV differs textually.
Phil 1:7 καθώς ἐστιν δίκαιον ἐμοὶ τοῦτο φρονεῖν ὑπὲρ πάντων ὑμῶν, διὰ τὸ ἔχειν με ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμᾶς, ἔν τε τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου καὶ {RP P1904: ἐν} [TR: - ] τῇ ἀπολογίᾳ καὶ βεβαιώσει τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, συγκοινωνούς μου τῆς χάριτος πάντας ὑμᾶς ὄντας. and it is right for me to think this of all of you like this, because I have you in my heart, in both my bonds and {RP P1904: in} [TR: - ] the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all being fellow sharers of my grace. ἐν, in (the defence): present in RP P1904 F1859=12/12 vs. absent (so plain dative, or spanned by the previous ἐν) in TR F1859=0/12.

Phil 1:10 εἰς τὸ δοκιμάζειν ὑμᾶς τὰ διαφέροντα, ἵνα ἦτε εἰλικρινεῖς καὶ ἀπρόσκοποι εἰς ἡμέραν χριστοῦ, so that you scrutinize the things that differ, in order that you may be sincere and inoffensive up to the day of Christ, scrutinize the things that differ: compare AV margin (test the things that differ). AV differs in the main text, approve the things that are excellent; this is possible in the sense of approve after scrutinizing the things that are better.
Phil 1:11 πεπληρωμένοι καρπῶν δικαιοσύνης τῶν διὰ Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, εἰς δόξαν καὶ ἔπαινον θεοῦ. having been filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

RP TBS-TR AV punctuate and associate words so as to read brothers in the Lord, trusting in my bonds. So AV differs. P1904 is non-committal, not having a comma. Our punctuation associates trusting ↴
Phil 1:15 Τινὲς μὲν καὶ διὰ φθόνον καὶ ἔριν, τινὲς δὲ καὶ δι' εὐδοκίαν τὸν χριστὸν κηρύσσουσιν· Some, however, preach Christ through envy and rivalry, but others also through goodwill. ↳ with in the Lord (Greek ἐν + dative, as in Phil 2:24, Phil 3:3). The dative of τοῖς δεσμοῖς, because of my bonds, is dative of cause, as in Rom 11:20.

Paul's salvation is not in question; compare 3:11. AV differs (my salvation).
Phil 1:20 κατὰ τὴν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα μου, ὅτι ἐν οὐδενὶ αἰσχυνθήσομαι, ἀλλ' ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ, ὡς πάντοτε, καὶ νῦν μεγαλυνθήσεται χριστὸς ἐν τῷ σώματί μου, εἴτε διὰ ζωῆς εἴτε διὰ θανάτου. according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall not be ashamed of anything, but that in all frankness, now as always, Christ will be magnified by my body whether through life or through death. now ← and now.

because of ← in, but also causal, as in Mark 6:3, 1 Pet 4:14.
Phil 1:27 Μόνον ἀξίως τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τοῦ χριστοῦ πολιτεύεσθε, ἵνα εἴτε ἐλθὼν καὶ ἰδὼν ὑμᾶς, εἴτε ἀπών, ἀκούσω τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν, ὅτι στήκετε ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι, μιᾷ ψυχῇ συναθλοῦντες τῇ πίστει τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, Only conduct yourselves as citizens worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or whether I am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you are standing in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel, mind ← soul.
Phil 1:28 καὶ μὴ πτυρόμενοι ἐν μηδενὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀντικειμένων· ἥτις αὐτοῖς μέν ἐστιν ἔνδειξις ἀπωλείας, ὑμῖν δὲ σωτηρίας, καὶ τοῦτο ἀπὸ θεοῦ· and not being alarmed by anything done by your adversaries, which is an indication to them of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. alarmed ← startled.

Phil 1:30 τὸν αὐτὸν ἀγῶνα ἔχοντες οἷον {RP P1904 S1894: εἴδετε} [S1550 E1624: ἴδετε] ἐν ἐμοί, καὶ νῦν ἀκούετε ἐν ἐμοί. having the same struggle which you saw in me and now hear is in me. εἴδετε, you saw (indicative), RP P1904 S1894 F1859=10/13 vs. ἴδετε, see (imperative, but more probably an indicative with a lost augment), S1550 E1624 F1859=3/13 (Scrivener's dmn).
Phil 2:1 Εἴ τις οὖν παράκλησις ἐν χριστῷ, εἴ τι παραμύθιον ἀγάπης, εἴ τις κοινωνία πνεύματος, εἴ {RP P1904: τις} [TR: τινα] σπλάγχνα καὶ οἰκτιρμοί, If, therefore, there is any comfort in Christ, if there is any consolation from love, if there is any fellowship of the spirit, if there is any compassion and mercy, τις, any (masculine / feminine singular, as if σπλάγχνα is feminine singular), RP P1904 F1859=8/13 vs. τινα, any (neuter plural, classically correct), TR F1859=0/13 vs. τι, any (neuter singular, as if σπλάγχνα is third declension), F1859=5/13.

yourselves: AV differs in formulation, themselves, but as NT Greek does not distinguish the grammatical person in an instance like this, yourselves is fully admissible, and it is in line with the verbal forms.
Phil 2:4 μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἕκαστος σκοπεῖτε, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ ἑτέρων ἕκαστος. Let everyone look not to his own interests, but also each one to the interests of others.
Phil 2:5 Τοῦτο γὰρ φρονείσθω ἐν ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· So have this frame of mind in you, which is also in Christ Jesus, so have this frame of mind ← for let this be thought.
Phil 2:6 ὃς ἐν μορφῇ θεοῦ ὑπάρχων, οὐχ ἁρπαγμὸν ἡγήσατο τὸ εἶναι ἶσα θεῷ, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God to be misappropriation, equal ← equally (neuter plural as adverb).

Lord: or the Lord, where if we supply in the mind the verb to be after κύριος, the definite article with κύριος is dropped because the predicate precedes the verb.
Phil 2:12 Ὥστε, ἀγαπητοί μου, καθὼς πάντοτε ὑπηκούσατε, μὴ ὡς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ μου μόνον, ἀλλὰ νῦν πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἐν τῇ ἀπουσίᾳ μου, μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου τὴν ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίαν κατεργάζεσθε· So, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, in my presence ← as in my presence.

Phil 2:18 τὸ δ' αὐτὸ καὶ ὑμεῖς χαίρετε καὶ συγχαίρετέ μοι. In the same way, rejoice, yourselves too, and jointly rejoice with me. rejoice (2x): the AV translates as the indicative, or ambiguously; we as an imperative (in both cases).

Phil 2:21 Οἱ πάντες γὰρ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ζητοῦσιν, οὐ τὰ {RP P1904: - } [TR: τοῦ] χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ. For all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. τοῦ, (of) the (Christ): absent in RP P1904 F1859=7/13 vs. present in TR F1859=6/13. Nearly a disparity with RP, R=8:7.
Christ Jesus: AV differs in word order, Jesus Christ.
Phil 2:22 Τὴν δὲ δοκιμὴν αὐτοῦ γινώσκετε, ὅτι ὡς πατρὶ τέκνον, σὺν ἐμοὶ ἐδούλευσεν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον. But get to know his trustworthiness, because as a child with his father he has served with me in the cause of the gospel. get to know ... because: AV differs, translating as an indicative, (ye know ... that), which is also possible.

Phil 2:26 ἐπειδὴ ἐπιποθῶν ἦν πάντας ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀδημονῶν, διότι ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἠσθένησεν· since he was longing for you all, and he was in distress, because you had heard that he was ill, was ill: AV differs (had been sick), following strict classical usage, but people are in distress when a friend is ill, not when he has recovered. Compare Acts 6:1.
Phil 2:27 καὶ γὰρ ἠσθένησεν παραπλήσιον {RP TR: θανάτῳ} [P1904: θανάτου], {RP: ἀλλὰ} [P1904 TR: ἀλλ'] ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ἠλέησεν, οὐκ αὐτὸν δὲ μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐμέ, ἵνα μὴ λύπην ἐπὶ {RP P1904: λύπην} [TR: λύπῃ] σχῶ. for he did indeed fall so ill that he was near to death, but God had mercy on him, and not only him, but me also, so that I should not have grief upon grief, θανάτῳ, to death, RP TR F1859=12/13 vs. θανάτου, of death, but treated as the genitive after the improper preposition παραπλήσιον, P1904 F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's l). No difference in our English.

Phil 2:30 ὅτι διὰ τὸ ἔργον τοῦ χριστοῦ μέχρι θανάτου ἤγγισεν, παραβουλευσάμενος τῇ ψυχῇ, ἵνα ἀναπληρώσῃ τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα τῆς πρός με λειτουργίας. because for the work of Christ he came near to death, not having regarded his life, so that he could make up for the thing that was missing in your service towards me. his: from the middle voice of regarded.

Phil 3:11 εἴ πως καταντήσω εἰς τὴν ἐξανάστασιν τῶν νεκρῶν. if somehow I can attain to the out-resurrection of the dead. out-resurrection (ἐξανάστασις: a word distinguished from the usual word for resurrection, ἀνάστασις). Compare Heb 11:35 (a better resurrection).
Phil 3:12 Οὐχ ὅτι ἤδη ἔλαβον, ἢ ἤδη τετελείωμαι· διώκω δέ, εἰ καὶ καταλάβω ἐφ' ᾧ καὶ κατελήφθην ὑπὸ τοῦ χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ.

I press on expressly towards the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus. expressly: or designedly; lit: according to a mark / goal (adverbial use of κατά, rather than towards as a synonym for πρός or εἰς).

However, if you take a different view of anything, God will reveal this to you too. inasmuch as we are perfect ← as many as (are) perfect.

creation: AV differs (creature).

1 Tim 5:13 Ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἀργαὶ μανθάνουσιν, περιερχόμεναι τὰς οἰκίας, οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀργαί, ἀλλὰ καὶ φλύαροι καὶ περίεργοι, λαλοῦσαι τὰ μὴ δέοντα. while at the same time they idly learn, as they go round houses, and not only idly, but also as gossipmongers and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

1 Tim 5:18 Λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή, Βοῦν ἀλοῶντα οὐ φιμώσεις· καί, Ἄξιος ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ. for the scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox that threshes”, and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.” Deut 25:4. For the second quote, see Matt 10:10.

Don't just drink water any longer, but use a little wine on account of your stomach and your frequent ailments. This verse is a dispensational marker, because guaranteed healing (as in James 5:14) and immediate evidential miracles (as in Acts 14:9-10) are not operative in Paul's prison ministry. See also 2 Tim 4:20. But quiet divine intervention is possible, as in Phil 2:25-26.

Let all who are slaves, under a yoke, consider their own masters worthy of all honour, so that the name of God and the doctrine are not blasphemed. all ← as many as.
1 Tim 6:2 Οἱ δὲ πιστοὺς ἔχοντες δεσπότας μὴ καταφρονείτωσαν, ὅτι ἀδελφοί εἰσιν· ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον δουλευέτωσαν, ὅτι πιστοί εἰσιν καὶ ἀγαπητοὶ οἱ τῆς εὐεργεσίας ἀντιλαμβανόμενοι. Ταῦτα δίδασκε καὶ παρακάλει. And let those who have believing masters not despise them, because they are brothers, but let them rather serve them, because those who partake of good work are believers and beloved. ¶ Teach and encourage these things. ¶ Verse division: in P1904 numbering, 1 Tim 6:3 begins here.
partake of: this is a common meaning of the verb, but if the persons referred to are the masters, then the meaning must be are benefitted by.
1 Tim 6:3 Εἴ τις ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖ, καὶ μὴ προσέρχεται ὑγιαίνουσιν λόγοις, τοῖς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, καὶ τῇ κατ' εὐσέβειαν διδασκαλίᾳ, If anyone teaches another doctrine and does not adhere to sound words – those of our Lord Jesus Christ – and to the godly doctrine,

1 Tim 6:5 {RP: διαπαρατριβαὶ} [P1904 TR: παραδιατριβαὶ] διεφθαρμένων ἀνθρώπων τὸν νοῦν, καὶ ἀπεστερημένων τῆς ἀληθείας, νομιζόντων πορισμὸν εἶναι τὴν εὐσέβειαν. Ἀφίστασο ἀπὸ τῶν τοιούτων. vain arguments of men corrupt in mind and devoid of the truth, who reckon godliness to be a means of gain.

1 Tim 6:6 Ἔστιν δὲ πορισμὸς μέγας ἡ εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας· But godliness with independence is an important means of gain. with independence: or with self-sufficiency. The sense appears to be without ulterior motives, in its own right.
1 Tim 6:7 οὐδὲν γὰρ εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, δῆλον ὅτι οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα· For we brought nothing into the world, and it is clear that we cannot take anything out either.
1 Tim 6:8 ἔχοντες δὲ διατροφὰς καὶ σκεπάσματα τούτοις ἀρκεσθησόμεθα. Provided we have sustenance and shelter, we shall be satisfied with these. provided: conditional use of the participle.
shelter: AV differs somewhat, raiment, which we take for granted as available in some form, and consider shelter a necessity in winter storms.
1 Tim 6:9 Οἱ δὲ βουλόμενοι πλουτεῖν ἐμπίπτουσιν εἰς πειρασμὸν καὶ παγίδα καὶ ἐπιθυμίας πολλὰς ἀνοήτους καὶ βλαβεράς, αἵτινες βυθίζουσιν τοὺς ἀνθρώπους εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ ἀπώλειαν. But those who wish to become rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires, which sink men into destruction and ruin.
1 Tim 6:10 Ῥίζα γὰρ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἐστὶν ἡ φιλαργυρία· ἧς τινὲς ὀρεγόμενοι ἀπεπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως, καὶ ἑαυτοὺς περιέπειραν ὀδύναις πολλαῖς.

1 Tim 6:12 Ἀγωνίζου τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα τῆς πίστεως, ἐπιλαβοῦ τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, εἰς ἣν {RP: - } [P1904 TR: καὶ] ἐκλήθης, καὶ ὡμολόγησας τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν ἐνώπιον πολλῶν μαρτύρων.

1 Tim 6:13 Παραγγέλλω σοι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῳοποιοῦντος τὰ πάντα, καὶ χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν, I command you in the sight of God, who makes everything alive, and Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
1 Tim 6:14 τηρῆσαί σε τὴν ἐντολὴν ἄσπιλον, ἀνεπίληπτον, μέχρι τῆς ἐπιφανείας τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, to keep the commandment spotlessly, unimpeachably, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Tim 6:15 ἣν καιροῖς ἰδίοις δείξει ὁ μακάριος καὶ μόνος δυνάστης, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων, καὶ κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων, which in his own time the blessed and only potentate, the king of those that reign, and Lord of those that rule, will display, time ← seasons.
1 Tim 6:16 ὁ μόνος ἔχων ἀθανασίαν, φῶς οἰκῶν ἀπρόσιτον, ὃν εἶδεν οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων, οὐδὲ ἰδεῖν δύναται· ᾧ τιμὴ καὶ κράτος αἰώνιον. Ἀμήν. who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no-one among men has seen or can see, to whom be honour and age-abiding might. Amen. among ← of.
1 Tim 6:17 Τοῖς πλουσίοις ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι παράγγελλε, μὴ ὑψηλοφρονεῖν, μηδὲ ἠλπικέναι ἐπὶ πλούτου ἀδηλότητι, ἀλλ' ἐν τῷ θεῷ τῷ ζῶντι, τῷ παρέχοντι ἡμῖν {RP P1904: πάντα πλουσίως} [TR: πλουσίως πάντα] εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν· Command those who are rich in the present age not to be haughty, nor to put hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in the living God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment, πάντα πλουσίως, everything + richly, RP P1904 F1859=13/13 vs. πλουσίως πάντα, richly + everything, TR F1859=0/13.

to share: AV differs, to modern ears at least (to communicate).
1 Tim 6:19 ἀποθησαυρίζοντας ἑαυτοῖς θεμέλιον καλὸν εἰς τὸ μέλλον, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς. treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, in order that they might take hold of age-abiding life.

A weak disparity with RP, R=7:8.
science: or knowledge. VulgC VulgS have scientia, from which perhaps the AV's science, which seems so appropriate in our day too.

2 Tim 1:3 Χάριν ἔχω τῷ θεῷ, ᾧ λατρεύω ἀπὸ προγόνων ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει, ὡς ἀδιάλειπτον ἔχω τὴν περὶ σοῦ μνείαν ἐν ταῖς δεήσεσίν μου νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας, I thank God, whom I serve following my forebears with a clear conscience when I ceaselessly remember you in my supplications night and day, following ← from, since.

2 Tim 1:5 ὑπόμνησιν λαμβάνων τῆς ἐν σοὶ ἀνυποκρίτου πίστεως, ἥτις ἐνῴκησεν πρῶτον ἐν τῇ μάμμῃ σου Λωΐδι καὶ τῇ μητρί σου {RP P1904 E1624 S1894: Εὐνίκῃ} [S1550: Εὐνείκῃ], πέπεισμαι δὲ ὅτι καὶ ἐν σοί. as I recall the unfeigned faith which is in you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, also in you.

2 Tim 1:8 Μὴ οὖν ἐπαισχυνθῇς τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν, μηδὲ ἐμὲ τὸν δέσμιον αὐτοῦ· ἀλλὰ συγκακοπάθησον τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ κατὰ δύναμιν θεοῦ, So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but partake of the suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, about ← of. We take this as an objective genitive (Paul and Timothy do the testifying), though it could be subjective (the testimony that the Lord gave). As the testimony is not given to the Lord (but to the general public, we presume), it would also be ambiguous to translate by the word to.
2 Tim 1:9 τοῦ σώσαντος ἡμᾶς καὶ καλέσαντος κλήσει ἁγίᾳ, οὐ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ἡμῶν, ἀλλὰ κατ' ἰδίαν πρόθεσιν καὶ χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose, and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the durations of the ages, the durations of the ages ← age-abiding times.

And for this reason I suffer these things too, but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep my entrusted deposit up to that day. am persuaded ← have been persuaded.
2 Tim 1:13 Ὑποτύπωσιν ἔχε ὑγιαινόντων λόγων ὧν παρ' ἐμοῦ ἤκουσας, ἐν πίστει καὶ ἀγάπῃ τῇ ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. Hold on to the model of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Scrivener's Elzevir text appears to read παραθήκην, since he gives παρακαταθήκην as the variant. Compare 1 Tim 6:20, noting that Scrivener's bgk read παρακαταθήκην there too.
AV differs, supplying unto thee.
2 Tim 1:15 Οἶδας τοῦτο, ὅτι ἀπεστράφησάν με πάντες οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ, ὧν ἐστὶν {RP: Φύγελος} [P1904 TR: Φύγελλος] καὶ Ἑρμογένης. You know this, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. Φύγελος, Phygelus, RP F1859=4/14 (Scrivener's cemn) vs. Φύγελλος, Phygellus, P1904 TR F1859=8/14 vs. other spellings, F1859=2/14 (Scrivener's lo*). In our English, we retain the traditional spelling of the name, which also appears to have good manuscript support. A disparity with RP, R=4:10.
2 Tim 1:16 Δῴη ἔλεος ὁ κύριος τῷ Ὀνησιφόρου οἴκῳ· ὅτι πολλάκις με ἀνέψυξεν, καὶ τὴν ἅλυσίν μου οὐκ {RP P1904: ἐπαισχύνθη} [TR: ἐπῃσχύνθη], May the Lord show mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain, ἐπαισχύνθη, he was ashamed (non-classical aorist without augment), RP P1904 F1859=6/14 vs. ἐπῃσχύνθη, he was ashamed (classical aorist with augment), TR F1859=8/14.

2 Tim 2:9 ἐν ᾧ κακοπαθῶ μέχρι δεσμῶν, ὡς κακοῦργος· ἀλλ' ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ οὐ δέδεται. on account of which I suffer affliction, even of bonds like a criminal. But the word of God has not been bound.

Phmon 1:9 διὰ τὴν ἀγάπην μᾶλλον παρακαλῶ, τοιοῦτος ὢν ὡς Παῦλος πρεσβύτης, νυνὶ δὲ καὶ δέσμιος Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ. yet for love's sake, I exhort you – being such as I am, Paul the aged, and now also the prisoner of Jesus Christ – yet ← rather.
Phmon 1:10 Παρακαλῶ σε περὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ τέκνου, ὃν ἐγέννησα ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου, Ὀνήσιμον, I exhort you concerning my own child, whom I begot in my bonds, Onesimus,
Phmon 1:11 τόν ποτέ σοι ἄχρηστον, νυνὶ δὲ σοὶ καὶ ἐμοὶ εὔχρηστον, ὃν ἀνέπεμψα· who was at one time useless to you, but is now really useful to you and me, whom I have sent back – really: from the prefix εὐ.
Phmon 1:12 σὺ δὲ αὐτόν, τοῦτ' ἔστιν τὰ ἐμὰ σπλάγχνα, προσλαβοῦ· now would you receive him, that is to say my own inner heart, inner heart ← bowels.
Phmon 1:13 ὃν ἐγὼ ἐβουλόμην πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν κατέχειν, ἵνα ὑπὲρ σοῦ διακονῇ μοι ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς τοῦ εὐαγγελίου· whom I would have liked to hold on to for myself, in order that instead of you he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel,
Phmon 1:14 χωρὶς δὲ τῆς σῆς γνώμης οὐδὲν ἠθέλησα ποιῆσαι, ἵνα μὴ ὡς κατὰ ἀνάγκην τὸ ἀγαθόν σου ᾖ, ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἑκούσιον. but I did not want to do anything without your opinion, so that your good deed would not be as it were under compulsion, but of free will.
Phmon 1:15 Τάχα γὰρ διὰ τοῦτο ἐχωρίσθη πρὸς ὥραν, ἵνα αἰώνιον αὐτὸν ἀπέχῃς· For perhaps he absconded for a while for this reason: that you should receive him back permanently, for this reason: not a conscious reason in Onesimus's mind, but a reason in God's plan.
permanently ← (as) age-abiding.
Phmon 1:16 οὐκέτι ὡς δοῦλον, ἀλλ' ὑπὲρ δοῦλον, ἀδελφὸν ἀγαπητόν, μάλιστα ἐμοί, πόσῳ δὲ μᾶλλον σοὶ καὶ ἐν σαρκὶ καὶ ἐν κυρίῳ. no longer as a slave, but above a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, and how much more to you, with him both in the flesh and in the Lord.
Phmon 1:17 Εἰ οὖν {RP P1904: με} [TR: ἐμὲ] ἔχεις κοινωνόν, προσλαβοῦ αὐτὸν ὡς ἐμέ. So if you consider me as a partner, receive him as you would me. με, me (not emphatic), RP P1904 F1859=11/13 vs. ἐμὲ, me (emphatic), TR F1859=2/13 (Scrivener's af).
Phmon 1:18 Εἰ δέ τι ἠδίκησέν σε ἢ ὀφείλει, τοῦτο ἐμοὶ ἐλλόγει· And if he has wronged you in any matter or owes you anything, reckon that to me. that ← this.
Phmon 1:19 ἐγὼ Παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί, ἐγὼ ἀποτίσω· ἵνα μὴ λέγω σοι ὅτι καὶ σεαυτόν μοι προσοφείλεις. I Paul have written with my own hand, “I will repay” – not to mention to you that you are for your part indebted to me for your own self. for your part ← also.
Phmon 1:20 Ναί, ἀδελφέ, ἐγώ σου ὀναίμην ἐν κυρίῳ· ἀνάπαυσόν μου τὰ σπλάγχνα ἐν κυρίῳ. Yes, brother, let me have the benefit of you being in the Lord: refresh my inner heart in the Lord. benefit: a play on words as in Greek it is cognate with “Onesimus”.
inner heart ← bowels.
Phmon 1:21 Πεποιθὼς τῇ ὑπακοῇ σου ἔγραψά σοι, εἰδὼς ὅτι καὶ ὑπὲρ ὃ λέγω ποιήσεις. Trusting in your obedience, I have written to you knowing that you will even do more than what I say.
Phmon 1:22 Ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἑτοίμαζέ μοι ξενίαν· ἐλπίζω γὰρ ὅτι διὰ τῶν προσευχῶν ὑμῶν χαρισθήσομαι ὑμῖν. At the same time, also prepare me a guest-room, for I hope that through your prayers I will be granted release to you. you: plural.
Phmon 1:23 {RP TR: Ἀσπάζονταί} [P1904: Ἀσπάζεταί] σε Ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ συναιχμάλωτός μου ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, Epaphras my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus {RP TR: ¶ ,} [P1904: greets you,] {RP TR:¶ Verse division: our English re-arranges the word order of Phmon 1:23-24 across the Greek verse boundary.}
ἀσπάζονται, (they) greet, RP TR F1859=12/13 vs. ἀσπάζεται, (he) greets, P1904 F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's m).
Phmon 1:24 Μάρκος, Ἀρίσταρχος, Δημᾶς, Λουκᾶς, οἱ συνεργοί μου. {RP TR: ¶ Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers, greet you.} [P1904: as do Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.] {RP TR:¶ Verse division: see Phmon 1:23.}
The apparent textual issue is just an accommodation to the sentence structure of the previous verse.
Phmon 1:25 Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν. Ἀμήν. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Heb 1:1 Πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως πάλαι ὁ θεὸς λαλήσας τοῖς πατράσιν ἐν τοῖς προφήταις, ἐπ' {RP P1904: ἐσχάτου} [TR: ἐσχάτων] τῶν ἡμερῶν τούτων ἐλάλησεν ἡμῖν ἐν υἱῷ, God, who in time past spoke in many stages and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets, ¶ has spoken {RP P1904: at the end of these days} [TR: in these last days] to us by his son, ¶ Verse division: in AV numbering, Heb 1:2 begins here.
ἐσχάτου, (at the) end (of these days), RP P1904 F1859=12/13 (incl. 2 misspelled) vs. ἐσχάτων, (in these) last (days), TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's l).
stages ← portions. AV differs somewhat (times).
Heb 1:2 ὃν ἔθηκεν κληρονόμον πάντων, δι' οὗ καὶ τοὺς αἰῶνας ἐποίησεν, whom he has appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages, he made the ages: so time is part of creation as much as space and matter. All three are linked in general relativity. Compare Heb 11:3.
Heb 1:3 ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, δι' ἑαυτοῦ καθαρισμὸν ποιησάμενος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν, ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς, who being the radiance of his glory and the impressed image of his essence, and upholding everything by his powerful word, after he had through his own doing brought about the cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high. his powerful word ← the word of his power, a Hebraic genitive.
his own doing ← through himself.
on high ← in high (places, realms).
Heb 1:4 τοσούτῳ κρείττων γενόμενος τῶν ἀγγέλων, ὅσῳ διαφορώτερον παρ' αὐτοὺς κεκληρονόμηκεν ὄνομα. And to the extent to which he became better than the angels, he has inherited a more excellent name than them. to the extent ← by the amount of difference.
than them: or, if the reader prefers, than they.
Heb 1:5 Τίνι γὰρ εἶπέν ποτε τῶν ἀγγέλων, Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε; Καὶ πάλιν, Ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ εἰς πατέρα, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται μοι εἰς υἱόν; For to whom of the angels has he said at any time,

“You are my son;

Today I have begotten you”?

Or again,

“I will be a father to him,

And he will be a son to me”?

 Ps 2:7. Also quoted in Acts 13:33 where the context is Christ's resurrection, not his conception or birth in the flesh. That could be the context here too.
2 Sam 7:14, 1 Chr 17:13.
Heb 1:6 Ὅταν δὲ πάλιν εἰσαγάγῃ τὸν πρωτότοκον εἰς τὴν οἰκουμένην λέγει, Καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι θεοῦ. And when again he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,

“And let all the angels of God worship him.”

 The quote is as Deut 32:43 in the Septuagint, but not the Masoretic Hebrew. The Dutch Statenvertaling refers this quote (or allusion) to Ps 97:7 (Worship him all you “gods”).
Heb 1:7 Καὶ πρὸς μὲν τοὺς ἀγγέλους λέγει, Ὁ ποιῶν τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ πνεύματα, καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ πυρὸς φλόγα· And to the angels he says,

“He who makes his angels spirits

And his servants a fiery flame”,

 Ps 104:4.
fiery flame ← flame of fire, a Hebraic genitive.
Heb 1:8 πρὸς δὲ τὸν υἱόν, Ὁ θρόνος σου, ὁ θεός, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος· ῥάβδος εὐθύτητος ἡ ῥάβδος τῆς βασιλείας σου. but to the son,

“Your throne, O God, is throughout the duration of the age.

The sceptre of your kingdom is an upright sceptre.

 Ps 45:7MT (Ps 45:6AV).
an upright sceptre ← a sceptre of uprightness, a Hebraic genitive.
Heb 1:9 Ἠγάπησας δικαιοσύνην, καὶ ἐμίσησας ἀνομίαν· διὰ τοῦτο ἔχρισέν σε ὁ θεός, ὁ θεός σου, ἔλαιον ἀγαλλιάσεως παρὰ τοὺς μετόχους σου.

You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness.

That is why God, your God,

Has anointed you with the oil of gladness,

More than your fellow men”,

 Ps 45:8MT (Ps 45:7AV).
that is why ← on account of this.
more than: or rather than.
Heb 1:10 Καί, Σὺ κατ' ἀρχάς, κύριε, τὴν γῆν ἐθεμελίωσας, καὶ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σού εἰσιν οἱ οὐρανοί· and,

“You, at the beginning, Lord, founded the earth,

And the heavens are the works of your hands.

 Ps 102:26MT (Ps 102:25AV).
Heb 1:11 αὐτοὶ ἀπολοῦνται, σὺ δὲ διαμένεις· καὶ πάντες ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσονται,

They will perish,

But you remain,

And they will all become old like a garment,

 Ps 102:27MT (Ps 102:26AV).
Heb 1:12 καὶ ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον ἑλίξεις αὐτούς, καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται· σὺ δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς εἶ, καὶ τὰ ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν.

And you will roll them up like a cloak,

And they will be changed,

But you are the same,

And your years will not fail.”

 Isa 34:4, Ps 102:27MT (Ps 102:26AV), Ps 102:28MT (Ps 102:27AV).
Heb 1:13 Πρὸς τίνα δὲ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἴρηκέν ποτε, Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου; But to which of the angels has he ever said,

“Sit on my right hand side

Until I make your enemies your footstool”?

 Ps 110:1.
your footstool ← a footstool of your feet.
Heb 1:14 Οὐχὶ πάντες εἰσὶν λειτουργικὰ πνεύματα, εἰς διακονίαν ἀποστελλόμενα διὰ τοὺς μέλλοντας κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν; Are they not all ministering spirits, sent for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation? sent ← being sent, present participle.
Heb 2:1 Διὰ τοῦτο δεῖ περισσοτέρως ἡμᾶς προσέχειν τοῖς ἀκουσθεῖσιν, μήποτε παραρρυῶμεν. This is why we should pay attention all the more to the things heard: so that we do not at any time drift away. this is why ← on account of this.
all the more ← more abundantly.
we ... drift away: AV differs (let them slip), not recognizing the root aorist as intransitive [TYAG], p.87.
Heb 2:2 Εἰ γὰρ ὁ δι' ἀγγέλων λαληθεὶς λόγος ἐγένετο βέβαιος, καὶ πᾶσα παράβασις καὶ παρακοὴ ἔλαβεν ἔνδικον μισθαποδοσίαν, For if the word spoken by angels came to be inviolable, and every transgression and disobedience received legitimate retribution, inviolable ← firm, steadfast.
Heb 2:3 πῶς ἡμεῖς ἐκφευξόμεθα τηλικαύτης ἀμελήσαντες σωτηρίας; Ἥτις, ἀρχὴν λαβοῦσα λαλεῖσθαι διὰ τοῦ κυρίου, ὑπὸ τῶν ἀκουσάντων εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐβεβαιώθη, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which started to be spoken about by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard it, if: conditional use of the participle.
neglect ← neglected, but see Matt 23:20.
Heb 2:4 συνεπιμαρτυροῦντος τοῦ θεοῦ σημείοις τε καὶ τέρασιν, καὶ ποικίλαις δυνάμεσιν, καὶ πνεύματος ἁγίου μερισμοῖς, κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ θέλησιν. while God bore additional witness with them by signs and miracles and various deeds of power and by distributions of holy spirit, according to his will?
Heb 2:5 Οὐ γὰρ ἀγγέλοις ὑπέταξεν τὴν οἰκουμένην τὴν μέλλουσαν, περὶ ἧς λαλοῦμεν. For he has not made the world which is to come, about which we speak, subject to angels,
Heb 2:6 Διεμαρτύρατο δέ πού τις λέγων, Τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι μιμνήσκῃ αὐτοῦ; Ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν; but someone solemnly testified in a certain place and said,

“What is man,

That you should remember him?

Or the son of man,

That you should watch over him?

 Ps 8:5MT (Ps 8:4AV), Ps 144:3.
watch over: or visit.
Heb 2:7 Ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρ' ἀγγέλους· δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν· {RP P1904: - } [TR: καὶ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου,]

You made him lower than the angels for a short while;

You crowned him with glory and honour,

{RP P1904: - }
[TR:

And you appointed him over the works of your hands,

]
καὶ ... χειρῶν σου, and ... your hands: absent in RP P1904 F1859=10/13 vs. present in TR F1859=3/13 (Scrivener's bmo). AV differs textually.
Ps 8:6MT (Ps 8:5AV) {RP P1904: - } [TR: , Ps 8:7MT (Ps 8:6AV)].
lower ← less.
for a short while: or a little (with lower), as AV, so AV differs.
Heb 2:8 πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. Ἐν γὰρ τῷ ὑποτάξαι αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα, οὐδὲν ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ ἀνυπότακτον. Νῦν δὲ οὔπω ὁρῶμεν αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ὑποτεταγμένα.

And you put everything in subjection under his feet.”

Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left him nothing unsubjected to him. But right now we do not yet see everything subjected to him. 		Ps 8:7MT (Ps 8:6AV).
Heb 2:9 Τὸν δὲ βραχύ τι παρ' ἀγγέλους ἠλαττωμένον βλέπομεν Ἰησοῦν, διὰ τὸ πάθημα τοῦ θανάτου δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφανωμένον, ὅπως χάριτι θεοῦ ὑπὲρ παντὸς γεύσηται θανάτου. But we do see Jesus, who had been made lower than the angels for a short while, on account of suffering death now crowned with glory and honour, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone's sake. lower ← less.
for a short while: or a little (with lower), as AV, so AV differs.
Heb 2:10 Ἔπρεπεν γὰρ αὐτῷ, δι' ὃν τὰ πάντα, καὶ δι' οὗ τὰ πάντα, πολλοὺς υἱοὺς εἰς δόξαν ἀγαγόντα, τὸν ἀρχηγὸν τῆς σωτηρίας αὐτῶν διὰ παθημάτων τελειῶσαι. For it was fitting for him, for whose sake everything exists, and by whom everything exists, who led many sons to glory, to bring the institutor of their salvation to perfection through sufferings. who led: the antecedent is grammatically not the him of fitting for him, but the consequent understood subject of τελειῶσαι to bring to perfection. But perhaps an accusative where a dative might be expected, as in Acts 25:27, 1 Tim 6:17 - 1 Tim 6:18.
Heb 2:11 Ὅ τε γὰρ ἁγιάζων καὶ οἱ ἁγιαζόμενοι, ἐξ ἑνὸς πάντες· δι' ἣν αἰτίαν οὐκ ἐπαισχύνεται ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοὺς καλεῖν, For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one, and for this reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
Heb 2:12 λέγων, Ἀπαγγελῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς μου, ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας ὑμνήσω σε. and he says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers;

In the heart of the assembly

I will sing praises to you.”

 Ps 22:23MT (Ps 22:22AV).
heart ← midst.
assembly ← church ← outcalling. See Matt 16:18.
Heb 2:13 Καὶ πάλιν, Ἐγὼ ἔσομαι πεποιθὼς ἐπ' αὐτῷ. Καὶ πάλιν, Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καὶ τὰ παιδία ἅ μοι ἔδωκεν ὁ θεός. And again,

“I will be confident in him.”

And again,

“Here am I

And the children whom God has given me.”

 2 Sam 22:3, Ps 18:3MT (Ps 18:2AV); Isa 8:18.
Heb 2:14 Ἐπεὶ οὖν τὰ παιδία κεκοινώνηκεν σαρκὸς καὶ αἵματος, καὶ αὐτὸς παραπλησίως μετέσχεν τῶν αὐτῶν, ἵνα διὰ τοῦ θανάτου καταργήσῃ τὸν τὸ κράτος ἔχοντα τοῦ θανάτου, τοῦτ' ἔστιν τὸν διάβολον, Now since the children are constituted of flesh and blood, so he likewise partook of the same, in order that through death he might nullify him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, are constituted of ← have had a share in, have had commonality with.
Heb 2:15 καὶ ἀπαλλάξῃ τούτους, ὅσοι φόβῳ θανάτου διὰ παντὸς τοῦ ζῇν ἔνοχοι ἦσαν δουλείας. and release them – all those who through fear of death throughout their whole life were subject to enslavement. them ← these.
all those who ← as many as.
Heb 2:16 Οὐ γὰρ δήπου ἀγγέλων ἐπιλαμβάνεται, ἀλλὰ σπέρματος Ἀβραὰμ ἐπιλαμβάνεται. For he did not, of course, take on kinship with angels, but took on the seed of Abraham. did not ... take on ... took on: the verbs are in the present tense (vivid present for past).
Heb 2:17 Ὅθεν ὤφειλεν κατὰ πάντα τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ὁμοιωθῆναι, ἵνα ἐλεήμων γένηται καὶ πιστὸς ἀρχιερεὺς τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν, εἰς τὸ ἱλάσκεσθαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας τοῦ λαοῦ. Hence he needed to become like his brothers in all respects in order to become a merciful and faithful high priest of things relating to God, to expiate the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 Ἐν ᾧ γὰρ πέπονθεν αὐτὸς πειρασθείς, δύναται τοῖς πειραζομένοις βοηθῆσαι. For in that he himself has suffered, having been put to the test, he is able to help those undergoing testing. put to the test: or tempted.
testing: or temptation, ≈ AV, so AV differs.
Heb 3:1 Ὅθεν, ἀδελφοὶ ἅγιοι, κλήσεως ἐπουρανίου μέτοχοι, κατανοήσατε τὸν ἀπόστολον καὶ ἀρχιερέα τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν {RP P1904: Ἰησοῦν χριστόν} [TR: χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν], In view of which, holy brothers, partakers of the upper-heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, {RP P1904: Jesus Christ} [TR: Christ Jesus], Ἰησοῦν χριστόν, Jesus + Christ, RP P1904 F1859=13/13 vs. χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν, Christ + Jesus, TR F1859=0/13. AV differs textually.
Heb 3:2 πιστὸν ὄντα τῷ {RP P1904c TR: ποιήσαντι} [P1904u: ποιήσατιν] αὐτόν, ὡς καὶ {RP P1904: Μωϋσῆς} [TR: Μωσῆς] ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ. who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses was in all his house. Μωϋσῆς, Moüses, RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. Μωσῆς, Moses, TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's d).
as ← as also (otiose καί).
Heb 3:3 Πλείονος γὰρ δόξης οὗτος παρὰ {RP P1904: Μωϋσῆν} [TR: Μωσῆν] ἠξίωται, καθ' ὅσον πλείονα τιμὴν ἔχει τοῦ οἴκου ὁ κατασκευάσας αὐτόν. For this man has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who constructed a house has more honour than the house itself. Μωϋσῆν, Moüses, RP P1904 F1859=10/13 vs. Μωσῆν, Moses, TR F1859=3/13 (Scrivener's dkm).
Heb 3:4 Πᾶς γὰρ οἶκος κατασκευάζεται ὑπό τινος· ὁ δὲ τὰ πάντα κατασκευάσας θεός. For every house is constructed by someone, but he who constructed everything is God.
Heb 3:5 Καὶ {RP P1904: Μωϋσῆς} [TR: Μωσῆς] μὲν πιστὸς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς θεράπων, εἰς μαρτύριον τῶν λαληθησομένων· And Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, as a testimony of things which would be spoken about, Μωϋσῆς, Moüses, RP P1904 F1859=11/14 vs. Μωσῆς, Moses, TR F1859=3/14 (Scrivener's ad*m).
Heb 3:6 χριστὸς δὲ ὡς υἱὸς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· οὗ οἶκός ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς, ἐάνπερ τὴν παρρησίαν καὶ τὸ καύχημα τῆς ἐλπίδος μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν. but Christ was faithful as a son over his house, and we are of that house, if, that is to say, we hold fast to the firm confidence and boast of hope to the end. that is to say: from the afformative ‑περ in ἐάνπερ.
Heb 3:7 Διό, καθὼς λέγει τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε, For that reason – as the holy spirit says,

“Today, if you heed his voice,

 Ps 95:7.
heed ← hear.
Heb 3:8 μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ, κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ πειρασμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,

Do not harden your hearts

As in the provocation,

As on the day of testing in the desert,

 Ps 95:8.
as on ← according to.
Heb 3:9 οὗ ἐπείρασάν με οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, ἐδοκίμασάν με, καὶ εἶδον τὰ ἔργα μου τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.

Where your fathers put me to the proof

And tested me

And saw my works for forty years –

 Ps 95:9, Ps 95:10.
Heb 3:10 Διὸ προσώχθισα τῇ γενεᾷ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ εἶπον, Ἀεὶ πλανῶνται τῇ καρδίᾳ· αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰς ὁδούς μου·

For that reason I became angry with that generation,

And I said,

‘They are always erring in their heart,

And they do not know my ways.’

 Ps 95:10.
Heb 3:11 ὡς ὤμοσα ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου, Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν μου.

So I swore in my anger,

‘They shall certainly not enter into my rest.’ ”

 Ps 95:11.
so: or as.
they shall certainly not ← if, a Hebraism, ‫אִם‬, as an oath formula: if ... may God do this (harm) to me and add this (harm) to me (compare 2 Sam 3:35).
Heb 3:12 Βλέπετε, ἀδελφοί, μήποτε ἔσται ἔν τινι ὑμῶν καρδία πονηρὰ ἀπιστίας ἐν τῷ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ζῶντος· Watch out, brothers, in case there is in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in defecting from the living God. is ← will be, future for present subjunctive after μήποτε.
any: singular.
Heb 3:13 ἀλλὰ παρακαλεῖτε ἑαυτοὺς καθ' ἑκάστην ἡμέραν, ἄχρι οὗ τὸ σήμερον καλεῖται, ἵνα μὴ σκληρυνθῇ {RP P1904: ἐξ ὑμῶν τις} [TR: τις ἐξ ὑμῶν] ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας· But comfort each other every day as long as it is called “today”, in order that not one of you be hardened by sinful deceit. ἐξ ὑμῶν τις, of you + anyone, RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. τις ἐξ ὑμῶν, anyone + of you, TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's m).
each other ← yourselves, but this is the reflexive pronoun doing duty for the reciprocal pronoun ἀλλήλους.
sinful deceit ← deceit of sin, a Hebraic genitive.
Heb 3:14 μέτοχοι γὰρ γεγόναμεν τοῦ χριστοῦ, ἐάνπερ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν· For we have become partakers of Christ, if, that is to say, we hold on to the origin of our entitlement firmly to the end, that is to say: from the afformative ‑περ in ἐάνπερ.
origin ← beginning. Perhaps a reference to Christ, as in John 8:25, Rev 1:8.
entitlement: AV differs (confidence). The secular papyri have ↴
Heb 3:15 ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαι, Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε, μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ. with it being said,

“Today, if you will heed his voice,

Do not harden your hearts

As in the provocation.”

 ↳ the meaning of property, valuation of property, declaration of property, in view of which [MM] proposes title-deed for ὑπόστασις in Heb 11:1.
Ps 95:7, Ps 95:8.
heed ← hear.
Heb 3:16 {RP-text TR: Τινὲς} [RP-marg P1904: Τίνες] γὰρ ἀκούσαντες παρεπίκραναν, ἀλλ' οὐ πάντες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐξ Αἰγύπτου διὰ {RP: Μωϋσέως.} [P1904: Μωϋσέως;] [TR: Μωσέως.] {RP-text TR: For some on hearing it were provocative, but not all who came out of Egypt under Moses' leadership were.} [RP-marg: For who on hearing it were provocative?

Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses' leadership?] τινὲς, some, RP-text TR F1859=3/13 (Scrivener's mno) vs. τίνες, who?, RP-marg P1904 F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's o) vs. unmarked accent or unclear (we presume), F1859=9/13.
Μωϋσέως, Moüses, RP P1904 F1859=2/13 (Scrivener's kn) vs. Μωσέως, Moses, TR F1859=4/13 (Scrivener's cdem) vs. Μωϋσέος, Moüses, RP P1904 F1859=7/13 (Scrivener's abfghlo). A disparity with RP, R=3:8.
Various punctuations make either clause a statement or question.
Heb 3:17 Τίσιν δὲ προσώχθισεν τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη; Οὐχὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτήσασιν, ὧν τὰ κῶλα ἔπεσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ; And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the desert? corpses ← limbs.
Heb 3:18 Τίσιν δὲ ὤμοσεν μὴ εἰσελεύσεσθαι εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν αὐτοῦ, εἰ μὴ τοῖς ἀπειθήσασιν; And to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, if not those who disbelieved?
Heb 3:19 Καὶ βλέπομεν ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν εἰσελθεῖν δι' ἀπιστίαν. And we see that they were unable to enter in on account of disbelief.
Heb 4:1 Φοβηθῶμεν οὖν μήποτε καταλειπομένης ἐπαγγελίας εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν αὐτοῦ, δοκῇ τις ἐξ ὑμῶν ὑστερηκέναι. So let us fear in case, although a promise of going in to his rest remains open, any one of you should appear to have failed to obtain it. although: concessive use of the participle.
Heb 4:2 Καὶ γάρ ἐσμεν εὐηγγελισμένοι, καθάπερ κἀκεῖνοι· ἀλλ' οὐκ ὠφέλησεν ὁ λόγος τῆς ἀκοῆς ἐκείνους, μὴ {RP P1904: συγκεκραμένους} [TR: συγκεκραμένος] τῇ πίστει τοῖς ἀκούσασιν. For indeed, we are those who have had the gospel preached to us, as also are they. But the word heard did not benefit them {RP P1904: because they were not united} [TR: because it was not united] in faith with those who had heeded it. συγκεκραμένους, (them) not being mixed / united, RP P1904 F1859=8/13 vs. συγκεκραμένος, (the word) not being mixed / united, TR F1859=5/13 (Scrivener's dkl*mn). AV differs textually.
they (first occurrence in verse) ← those.
heard ← of the hearing.
them ← those.
because: causal use of the participle.
heeded ← heard, but the implication is heard with faith.
Heb 4:3 Εἰσερχόμεθα γὰρ εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν οἱ πιστεύσαντες, καθὼς εἴρηκεν, Ὡς ὤμοσα ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου, Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν μου· καίτοι τῶν ἔργων ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου γενηθέντων. For we who have believed are entering into the rest, as he has said,

“As I have sworn in my anger,

‘They shall certainly not enter into my rest’ ”,

and yet the works were completed after the overthrow of the world. 		Ps 95:11.
they shall certainly not: see Heb 3:11.
were completed ← took place.
overthrow: AV differs; see Matt 13:35.
Heb 4:4 Εἴρηκεν γάρ που περὶ τῆς ἑβδόμης οὕτως, Καὶ κατέπαυσεν ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ· For he has spoken in a certain place concerning the seventh day as follows: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” Gen 2:2.
as follows ← thus.
Heb 4:5 καὶ ἐν τούτῳ πάλιν, Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν μου. And in this context again,

“They shall certainly not enter into my rest.”

 Ps 95:11.
they shall certainly not: see Heb 3:11.
Heb 4:6 Ἐπεὶ οὖν ἀπολείπεται τινὰς εἰσελθεῖν εἰς αὐτήν, καὶ οἱ πρότερον εὐαγγελισθέντες οὐκ εἰσῆλθον δι' ἀπείθειαν, Since therefore the fact remains that some are entering into it, but those who first had the gospel preached to them did not enter into it, through disbelief,
Heb 4:7 πάλιν τινὰ ὁρίζει ἡμέραν, Σήμερον, ἐν {RP P1904: Δαυὶδ} [TR: Δαβὶδ] λέγων, μετὰ τοσοῦτον χρόνον, καθὼς εἴρηται, Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε, μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν. he has again appointed a day, “today”, speaking by means of David, after so much time, as has been said,

“Today, if you will heed his voice,

Do not harden your hearts.”

 appointed ← appoints.
David: on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
Ps 95:7, Ps 95:8.
heed ← hear.
Heb 4:8 Εἰ γὰρ αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς κατέπαυσεν, οὐκ ἂν περὶ ἄλλης ἐλάλει μετὰ ταῦτα ἡμέρας. For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not be speaking about another day after these events. Joshua: AV differs (Jesus). The Greek Ἰησοῦς, Jesus, is the Hellenization of ‫יְהוֹשֻׁעַ‬, Joshua. See also Acts 7:45.
Heb 4:9 Ἄρα ἀπολείπεται σαββατισμὸς τῷ λαῷ τοῦ θεοῦ. Consequently, there remains a Sabbatical rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 Ὁ γὰρ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς κατέπαυσεν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ, ὥσπερ ἀπὸ τῶν ἰδίων ὁ θεός. For he who has entered into his rest has also himself rested from his works, as God has from his own.
Heb 4:11 Σπουδάσωμεν οὖν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς ἐκείνην τὴν κατάπαυσιν, ἵνα μὴ ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ τις ὑποδείγματι πέσῃ τῆς ἀπειθείας. Let us be eager, therefore, to enter into that rest, in case anyone should fall in the same example of unbelief.
Heb 4:12 Ζῶν γὰρ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἐνεργής, καὶ τομώτερος ὑπὲρ πᾶσαν μάχαιραν δίστομον, καὶ διϊκνούμενος ἄχρι μερισμοῦ ψυχῆς τε καὶ πνεύματος, ἁρμῶν τε καὶ μυελῶν, καὶ κριτικὸς ἐνθυμήσεων καὶ ἐννοιῶν καρδίας. For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword and reaches as far as dividing both soul and spirit, both joints and marrow, and is discerning of thoughts and intentions of the heart. any ← every.
soul and spirit: i.e. what makes a man alive physically and mentally.
Heb 4:13 Καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν κτίσις ἀφανὴς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· πάντα δὲ γυμνὰ καὶ τετραχηλισμένα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ πρὸς ὃν ἡμῖν ὁ λόγος. For there is no production which is out of sight before him, but everything is laid bare and laid open to his eyes, with whom we must reckon. production ← creation. AV differs (creature).
laid open ← throat-exposed.
we must reckon ← to us (is) the account or word.
Heb 4:14 Ἔχοντες οὖν ἀρχιερέα μέγαν, διεληλυθότα τοὺς οὐρανούς, Ἰησοῦν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ, κρατῶμεν τῆς ὁμολογίας. Therefore, seeing we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. seeing: causal use of the participle.
Heb 4:15 Οὐ γὰρ ἔχομεν ἀρχιερέα μὴ δυνάμενον συμπαθῆσαι ταῖς ἀσθενείαις ἡμῶν, {RP P1904 S1550: πεπειραμένον} [E1624 S1894: πεπειρασμένον] δὲ κατὰ πάντα καθ' ὁμοιότητα, χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tested in all respects like us, but without sin. πεπειραμένον, having been tested (1), RP P1904 S1550 F1859=12/12 (incl. c(tacite)) vs. πεπειρασμένον, having been tested (2), E1624 S1894 F1859=0/12.
tested: or tempted.
like us ← according to likeness.
Heb 4:16 Προσερχώμεθα οὖν μετὰ παρρησίας τῷ θρόνῳ τῆς χάριτος, ἵνα λάβωμεν ἔλεον, καὶ χάριν εὕρωμεν εἰς εὔκαιρον βοήθειαν. So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace as a timely help.
Heb 5:1 Πᾶς γὰρ ἀρχιερεύς, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων λαμβανόμενος, ὑπὲρ ἀνθρώπων καθίσταται τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν, ἵνα προσφέρῃ δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίας ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν· For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men concerning matters pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,
Heb 5:2 μετριοπαθεῖν δυνάμενος τοῖς ἀγνοοῦσιν καὶ πλανωμένοις, ἐπεὶ καὶ αὐτὸς περίκειται ἀσθένειαν· being able to bear to some degree with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is beset by weakness, to some degree ← in a measure; moderately.
Heb 5:3 καὶ διὰ ταύτην ὀφείλει, καθὼς περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ, οὕτως καὶ περὶ ἑαυτοῦ, προσφέρειν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν. and on account of this, just as he needs to make offering for sins on behalf of the people, so also he needs to on behalf of himself.
Heb 5:4 Καὶ οὐχ ἑαυτῷ τις λαμβάνει τὴν τιμήν, ἀλλὰ {RP P1904: - } [TR: ὁ] καλούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ, καθάπερ καὶ {RP P1904: - } [TR: ὁ] Ἀαρών. And it is not to oneself that anyone takes the honour, but {RP P1904: he is} [TR: it is the one] called by God, as Aaron was as well. ὁ, the (one called): absent in RP P1904 F1859=7/12 vs. present in TR F1859=5/12.
ὁ, the (Aaron): absent in RP P1904 F1859=12/12 vs. present in TR F1859=0/12.
Heb 5:5 Οὕτως καὶ ὁ χριστὸς οὐχ ἑαυτὸν ἐδόξασεν γενηθῆναι ἀρχιερέα, ἀλλ' ὁ λαλήσας πρὸς αὐτόν, Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε. So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but it happened by him who said to him,

“You are my son;

Today I have begotten you.”

 Ps 2:7. See also Heb 1:5, Acts 13:33.
Heb 5:6 Καθὼς καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει, Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ. As he also says in another place,

“You are a priest throughout the age

According to the order of Melchizedek.”

 Ps 110:4. Melchizedek also mentioned in Gen 14:18. In the NT, the AV spelling is Melchisedec, following the Greek.
Heb 5:7 Ὃς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, δεήσεις τε καὶ ἱκετηρίας πρὸς τὸν δυνάμενον σῴζειν αὐτὸν ἐκ θανάτου μετὰ κραυγῆς ἰσχυρᾶς καὶ δακρύων προσενέγκας, καὶ εἰσακουσθεὶς ἀπὸ τῆς εὐλαβείας, And in the days of his flesh he made supplications and entreaties with loud cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his devoutness, made ← offered.
he was heard: we take the event to refer to Luke 22:42-45 where Christ was delivered from an untimely cup – a deadly attack of some kind – which would have pre-empted and precluded the crucifixion. The apparatus of NA26 quotes Harnack who conjecturally emends the text by making it read he was not heard, without any ↴
Heb 5:8 καίπερ ὢν υἱός, ἔμαθεν ἀφ' ὧν ἔπαθεν τὴν ὑπακοήν, and although he was a son, he learned obedience through the things he suffered, ↳ manuscript support at all, which would destroy this important and interesting explanation of the event, so portraying the Lord as attempting to chicken out of the great work which he willingly came to undertake for our sakes. What kind of an ↴
he learned obedience: i.e. learned what it was like to be obedient in practice. Christ was certainly not naturally disobedient.
Heb 5:9 καὶ τελειωθεὶς ἐγένετο τοῖς ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ πᾶσιν αἴτιος σωτηρίας αἰωνίου· and when he had come to completion, he became the source of age-abiding salvation to all those who obey him, ↳ example would that be for us to follow (1 Pet 2:21)? NA26 and Westcott and Hort furthermore discredit Luke 22:43-44 by their double square brackets, which wrecks the whole wonderful account, and the verses are absent or cast doubt upon in the modern versions based on that type of text.
Heb 5:10 προσαγορευθεὶς ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ἀρχιερεὺς κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ. and he was designated by God to be the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, Melchizedek: see Heb 5:6.
Heb 5:11 Περὶ οὗ πολὺς ἡμῖν ὁ λόγος καὶ δυσερμήνευτος λέγειν, ἐπεὶ νωθροὶ γεγόνατε ταῖς ἀκοαῖς. concerning whom we have many a word to say, although it is hard to get the meaning across, since you have become dull of hearing. although: concessive use of καί.
hard to get the meaning across ← hard to interpret, i.e. hard for the hearers to interpret. AV differs somewhat (hard to be uttered).
Heb 5:12 Καὶ γὰρ ὀφείλοντες εἶναι διδάσκαλοι διὰ τὸν χρόνον, πάλιν χρείαν ἔχετε τοῦ διδάσκειν ὑμᾶς, τίνα τὰ στοιχεῖα τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν λογίων τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ γεγόνατε χρείαν ἔχοντες γάλακτος, καὶ οὐ στερεᾶς τροφῆς. For indeed, although you should be teachers by this time, you again need someone to teach you what the basics of the starting point of the oracles of God are, and you have come to need milk, and not solid food. although: concessive use of the participle.
Heb 5:13 Πᾶς γὰρ ὁ μετέχων γάλακτος ἄπειρος λόγου δικαιοσύνης· νήπιος γάρ ἐστιν. For everyone who partakes of milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is an infant,
Heb 5:14 Τελείων δέ ἐστιν ἡ στερεὰ τροφή, τῶν διὰ τὴν ἕξιν τὰ αἰσθητήρια γεγυμνασμένα ἐχόντων πρὸς διάκρισιν καλοῦ τε καὶ κακοῦ. but solid food is appropriate for those who are complete, who have senses which have been exercised through practice, leading to discernment of both good and evil.
Heb 6:1 Διό, ἀφέντες τὸν τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ χριστοῦ λόγον, ἐπὶ τὴν τελειότητα φερώμεθα, μὴ πάλιν θεμέλιον καταβαλλόμενοι μετανοίας ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων, καὶ πίστεως ἐπὶ θεόν, That is why, leaving the instruction on the starting point of Christ, let us be brought along to perfection, not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God, leaving ← having left. See Matt 23:20.
instruction on ← word of.
starting point: AV differs, to modern ears at least (principles).
Heb 6:2 βαπτισμῶν διδαχῆς, ἐπιθέσεώς τε χειρῶν, ἀναστάσεώς τε νεκρῶν, καὶ κρίματος αἰωνίου. of the doctrine of baptisms and of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead and of age-abiding judgment. All the things mentioned are dependent on a foundation of (Heb 6:1), and so are all part of the foundational layer from which the exhortation is to move on.
Heb 6:3 Καὶ τοῦτο {RP: ποιήσωμεν} [P1904 TR: ποιήσομεν], ἐάνπερ ἐπιτρέπῃ ὁ θεός. And {RP: let us do this} [P1904 TR: this we will do], if indeed God allows it. ποιήσωμεν, let us do, RP F1859=4/12 (Scrivener's dlno) vs. ποιήσομεν, we shall do, P1904 TR F1859=7/12 vs. verse absent, F1859=1/12 (Scrivener's m). A disparity with RP, R=4:9.
Heb 6:4 Ἀδύνατον γὰρ τοὺς ἅπαξ φωτισθέντας, γευσαμένους τε τῆς δωρεᾶς τῆς ἐπουρανίου, καὶ μετόχους γενηθέντας πνεύματος ἁγίου, For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened and who have tasted the upper-heavenly gift, and who have become partakers of holy spirit,
Heb 6:5 καὶ καλὸν γευσαμένους θεοῦ ῥῆμα, δυνάμεις τε μέλλοντος αἰῶνος, and who have tasted the good word of God and the powers of an age to come,
Heb 6:6 καὶ παραπεσόντας, πάλιν ἀνακαινίζειν εἰς μετάνοιαν, ἀνασταυροῦντας ἑαυτοῖς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ παραδειγματίζοντας. and who have fallen away, to renew them to repentance, because they crucify the son of God to themselves again and make an example of him. renew ← renew again, but πάλιν is pleonastic, as in Mark 12:5.
because: causal use of the participle.
Heb 6:7 Γῆ γὰρ ἡ πιοῦσα τὸν ἐπ' αὐτῆς πολλάκις ἐρχόμενον ὑετόν, καὶ τίκτουσα βοτάνην εὔθετον ἐκείνοις δι' οὓς καὶ γεωργεῖται, μεταλαμβάνει εὐλογίας ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ· For land which has drunk the rain which often falls on it and produces plants which are useful to those by whom it is farmed shares in blessing from God, falls ← comes.
plants ← grass, a plant, so plant life.
it is farmed ← it is also farmed. Otiose καί.
Heb 6:8 ἐκφέρουσα δὲ ἀκάνθας καὶ τριβόλους, ἀδόκιμος καὶ κατάρας ἐγγύς, ἧς τὸ τέλος εἰς καῦσιν. but land which produces thorn bushes and thistles is rejected and is close to a curse, the fate of which is burning. fate ← end.
Heb 6:9 Πεπείσμεθα δὲ περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀγαπητοί, τὰ {RP: κρείσσονα} [P1904 TR: κρείττονα] καὶ ἐχόμενα σωτηρίας, εἰ καὶ οὕτως λαλοῦμεν· But, beloved, we have been persuaded of better things concerning you, and things following on from salvation, even though we speak this way, κρείσσονα, better (things) (1), RP F1859=4/13 (Scrivener's bfln) vs. κρείττονα, better (things) (2), P1904 TR F1859=7/13 (Scrivener's a*cdghkm) vs. other spellings, F1859=2/13 (Scrivener's a**o). A disparity with RP, R=4:9.
following on from ← clinging to, following closely.
Heb 6:10 οὐ γὰρ ἄδικος ὁ θεὸς ἐπιλαθέσθαι τοῦ ἔργου ὑμῶν, καὶ τοῦ κόπου τῆς ἀγάπης ἧς {RP P1904 S1550 E1624: ἐνεδείξασθε} [S1894: ἐνδείξασθε] εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, διακονήσαντες τοῖς ἁγίοις καὶ διακονοῦντες. for God is not unrighteous, forgetting your work and toil in the love which you have shown for the sake of his name, having ministered to the saints, and are still ministering. ἐνεδείξασθε, you showed, RP P1904 S1550 E1624 F1859=10/12 vs. ἐνδείξασθε, you showed (misspelled), or show!, S1894 F1859=0/12 vs. other readings, F1859=2/12 (Scrivener's do).
in the love ← of the love.
saints: see Matt 27:52.
Heb 6:11 Ἐπιθυμοῦμεν δὲ ἕκαστον ὑμῶν τὴν αὐτὴν ἐνδείκνυσθαι σπουδὴν πρὸς τὴν πληροφορίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἄχρι τέλους· And we long that each of you should show the same eagerness for the full assurance of your hope up to the end,
Heb 6:12 ἵνα μὴ νωθροὶ γένησθε, μιμηταὶ δὲ τῶν διὰ πίστεως καὶ μακροθυμίας κληρονομούντων τὰς ἐπαγγελίας. so that you do not become slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and forbearance inherit the promises.
Heb 6:13 Τῷ γὰρ Ἀβραὰμ ἐπαγγειλάμενος ὁ θεός, ἐπεὶ κατ' οὐδενὸς εἶχεν μείζονος ὀμόσαι, ὤμοσεν καθ' ἑαυτοῦ, For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had nothing greater by which to swear, he swore by himself,
Heb 6:14 λέγων, Ἦ μὴν εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω σε, καὶ πληθύνων πληθυνῶ σε. and he said, “I will truly greatly bless you and greatly multiply you.” Gen 22:17.
greatly bless ← blessing I will bless.
greatly multiply ← multiplying I will multiply.
Heb 6:15 Καὶ οὕτως μακροθυμήσας ἐπέτυχεν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας. And in this way after being very patient, he obtained the promise.
Heb 6:16 Ἄνθρωποι μὲν γὰρ κατὰ τοῦ μείζονος ὀμνύουσιν, καὶ πάσης αὐτοῖς ἀντιλογίας πέρας εἰς βεβαίωσιν ὁ ὅρκος. For men swear by something greater, and the oath is the end of all controversy for them, as a confirmation.
Heb 6:17 Ἐν ᾧ περισσότερον βουλόμενος ὁ θεὸς ἐπιδεῖξαι τοῖς κληρονόμοις τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τὸ ἀμετάθετον τῆς βουλῆς αὐτοῦ, ἐμεσίτευσεν ὅρκῳ, And so God, wishing to show the unchangeableness of his will all the more forcibly to the heirs of the promise, intervened with an oath, and so ← in which (context), by which (reasoning).
forcibly ← abundantly.
Heb 6:18 ἵνα διὰ δύο πραγμάτων ἀμεταθέτων, ἐν οἷς ἀδύνατον ψεύσασθαι θεόν, ἰσχυρὰν παράκλησιν ἔχωμεν οἱ καταφυγόντες κρατῆσαι τῆς προκειμένης ἐλπίδος· in order that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a robust encouragement, we who have fled to lay hold of the hope that lies before us, The “two unchangeable things” are God's promise (Heb 6:13) and his oath (Heb 6:13 - 6:17), as noted by [CB].
Heb 6:19 ἣν ὡς ἄγκυραν ἔχομεν τῆς ψυχῆς ἀσφαλῆ τε καὶ βεβαίαν, καὶ εἰσερχομένην εἰς τὸ ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος· which we have as a safe and firm anchor for our life, which also enters into the inside area behind the veil, safe and firm ← both safe and firm.
life ← soul. Compare in Rev 16:3.
behind ← of.
Heb 6:20 ὅπου πρόδρομος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν εἰσῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς, κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδὲκ ἀρχιερεὺς γενόμενος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. where Jesus went in as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek throughout the age. Melchizedek: see Heb 5:6.
Heb 7:1 Οὗτος γὰρ ὁ Μελχισεδέκ, βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ἱερεὺς τοῦ θεοῦ {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: τοῦ} [E1624: - ] ὑψίστου, ὁ συναντήσας Ἀβραὰμ ὑποστρέφοντι ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τῶν βασιλέων καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτόν, For this Melchizedek – king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, τοῦ, the: present in RP P1904 S1550 S1894 F1859=12/12 (incl. c(tacite)) vs. absent in E1624 F1859=0/12.
Gen 14:18. See also Heb 5:6.
Heb 7:2 ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων ἐμέρισεν Ἀβραάμ - πρῶτον μὲν ἑρμηνευόμενος βασιλεὺς δικαιοσύνης, ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ὅ ἐστιν βασιλεὺς εἰρήνης· to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything, who is firstly, by translation, “King of Righteousness”, and then also “King of Salem”, which means “King of Peace;” means ← is.
Heb 7:3 ἀπάτωρ, ἀμήτωρ, ἀγενεαλόγητος, μήτε ἀρχὴν ἡμερῶν μήτε ζωῆς τέλος ἔχων, ἀφωμοιωμένος δὲ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ θεοῦ - μένει ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸ διηνεκές. without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but being like the son of God – remains a priest perpetually. being like ← having been made like.
perpetually: or continuously, but the former fits the context here. Probably distinct from ἀδιαλείπτως.
Heb 7:4 Θεωρεῖτε δὲ πηλίκος οὗτος, ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην Ἀβραὰμ ἔδωκεν ἐκ τῶν ἀκροθινίων ὁ πατριάρχης. So you see how great this man is, to whom Abraham the patriarch for his part gave a tenth of the finest produce. for his part ← also.
Heb 7:5 Καὶ οἱ μὲν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Λευῒ τὴν ἱερατείαν λαμβάνοντες ἐντολὴν ἔχουσιν ἀποδεκατοῦν τὸν λαὸν κατὰ τὸν νόμον, τοῦτ' ἔστιν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καίπερ ἐξεληλυθότας ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος Ἀβραάμ· And those who are of the sons of Levi receive the priesthood, and they have a commandment to tithe the people according to the law, that is their brothers, although they have come from the loins of Abraham,
Heb 7:6 ὁ δὲ μὴ γενεαλογούμενος ἐξ αὐτῶν δεδεκάτωκεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ, καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα τὰς ἐπαγγελίας εὐλόγηκεν. but he who had no genealogy from them tithed Abraham, and he blessed him who had the promises. tithed ... blessed: perfect tense in Greek, but hardly translatable as such in English. The same applies to many other verbs in this epistle and Revelation, Heb 11:17, Rev 19:3 being notable, but we do not necessarily remark on such cases. This tense accommodation is the reverse of the situation in Matt 2:2.
Heb 7:7 Χωρὶς δὲ πάσης ἀντιλογίας, τὸ ἔλαττον ὑπὸ τοῦ κρείττονος εὐλογεῖται. Now without any contradiction, the lesser is blessed by the greater. any ← every.
greater ← better.
Heb 7:8 Καὶ ὧδε μὲν δεκάτας ἀποθνῄσκοντες ἄνθρωποι λαμβάνουσιν· ἐκεῖ δέ, μαρτυρούμενος ὅτι ζῇ. And in one case dying men receive tithes, but in the other case it is one who is borne witness to that he is living. in one case ... in the other case ← here ... there (contrasting the Levitical and Melchizedekal priesthoods).
Heb 7:9 Καί, ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν, διὰ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Λευῒ ὁ δεκάτας λαμβάνων δεδεκάτωται· And, so to speak, Levi who receives tithes has also been tithed through Abraham,
Heb 7:10 ἔτι γὰρ ἐν τῇ ὀσφύϊ τοῦ πατρὸς ἦν, ὅτε συνήντησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Μελχισεδέκ. for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. Melchizedek: see Heb 5:6.
Heb 7:11 Εἰ μὲν οὖν τελείωσις διὰ τῆς Λευϊτικῆς ἱερωσύνης ἦν - ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἐπ' αὐτῇ νενομοθέτητο - τίς ἔτι χρεία, κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδὲκ ἕτερον ἀνίστασθαι ἱερέα, καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Ἀαρὼν λέγεσθαι; Now if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood – for under it the people had been placed under a law – what need would there still be for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron? Melchizedek: see Heb 5:6.
Heb 7:12 Μετατιθεμένης γὰρ τῆς ἱερωσύνης, ἐξ ἀνάγκης καὶ νόμου μετάθεσις γίνεται. Seeing that the priesthood is changing, a change in the law is also necessarily taking place. seeing that: causal use of the participle, in a genitive absolute construction.
Heb 7:13 Ἐφ' ὃν γὰρ λέγεται ταῦτα, φυλῆς ἑτέρας μετέσχηκεν, ἀφ' ἧς οὐδεὶς προσέσχηκεν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ. For these things speak about him who belongs to a different tribe, of which no-one has devoted himself to the altar.
Heb 7:14 Πρόδηλον γὰρ ὅτι ἐξ Ἰούδα ἀνατέταλκεν ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, εἰς ἣν φυλὴν οὐδὲν περὶ ἱερωσύνης {RP P1904: Μωϋσῆς} [TR: Μωσῆς] ἐλάλησεν. For it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe about which Moses did not say anything concerning priesthood. Μωϋσῆς, Moüses, RP P1904 F1859=12/12 vs. Μωσῆς, Moses, TR F1859=0/12.
Heb 7:15 Καὶ περισσότερον ἔτι κατάδηλόν ἐστιν, εἰ κατὰ τὴν ὁμοιότητα Μελχισεδὲκ ἀνίσταται ἱερεὺς ἕτερος, And it is all the more abundantly evident if another priest arises, after the likeness of Melchizedek, Melchizedek: see Heb 5:6.
Heb 7:16 ὃς οὐ κατὰ νόμον ἐντολῆς σαρκικῆς γέγονεν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ δύναμιν ζωῆς ἀκαταλύτου· who was not appointed according to a fleshly legal commandment, but according to the power of indissoluble life. was not appointed ← has not been made, brought about, as in Heb 7:20, Heb 7:23, but unlike Heb 5:1, Heb 7:28, Heb 8:3 which have a more specific verb for to appoint.
Heb 7:17 μαρτυρεῖ γὰρ ὅτι Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ. For he testifies,

“You are a priest throughout the age

According to the order of Melchizedek.”

 Ps 110:4. Melchizedek also mentioned in Gen 14:18. See also Heb 5:6.
Heb 7:18 Ἀθέτησις μὲν γὰρ γίνεται προαγούσης ἐντολῆς, διὰ τὸ αὐτῆς ἀσθενὲς καὶ ἀνωφελές· For an annulment of the preceding commandment is taking place because of its weakness and unprofitableness.
Heb 7:19 οὐδὲν γὰρ ἐτελείωσεν ὁ νόμος, ἐπεισαγωγὴ δὲ κρείττονος ἐλπίδος, δι' ἧς ἐγγίζομεν τῷ θεῷ. For the law perfected nothing, but the introduction of a better hope did, through which we approach God.
Heb 7:20 Καὶ καθ' ὅσον οὐ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας - οἱ μὲν γὰρ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας εἰσὶν ἱερεῖς γεγονότες, Inasmuch as it is not without swearing an oath – ¶ for the priests are appointed without the swearing of an oath, ¶ Verse division: in AV numbering, Heb 7:21 begins here.
appointed ← made, brought about.
Heb 7:21 ὁ δὲ μετὰ ὁρκωμοσίας, διὰ τοῦ λέγοντος πρὸς αὐτόν, Ὤμοσεν κύριος καὶ οὐ μεταμεληθήσεται, Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ - but he was appointed with the swearing of an oath, by saying to him,

“The Lord has sworn

And will not change his mind,

‘You are a priest throughout the age

According to the order of Melchizedek’ ” –

 Ps 110:4. Melchizedek also mentioned in Gen 14:18. See also Heb 5:6.
by saying ← by the (one) saying.
Heb 7:22 κατὰ τοσοῦτον κρείττονος διαθήκης γέγονεν ἔγγυος Ἰησοῦς. so Jesus has become the security of a better covenant. so ← by so much, the corollary to inasmuch (Heb 7:20).
Heb 7:23 Καὶ οἱ μὲν πλείονές εἰσιν γεγονότες ἱερεῖς, διὰ τὸ θανάτῳ κωλύεσθαι παραμένειν· And additional priests were appointed because they were prevented by death from continuing, appointed ← made, brought about.
Heb 7:24 ὁ δέ, διὰ τὸ μένειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην. but he, because he remains throughout the age, has an intransmissible priesthood. intransmissible: AV differs somewhat (unchangeable).
Heb 7:25 Ὅθεν καὶ σῴζειν εἰς τὸ παντελὲς δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους δι' αὐτοῦ τῷ θεῷ, πάντοτε ζῶν εἰς τὸ ἐντυγχάνειν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν. And on this ground he is able also to save those who come through him to God completely, as he is always alive to intercede for them. and on this ground ← whence.
as: causal use of the participle.
Heb 7:26 Τοιοῦτος γὰρ ἡμῖν ἔπρεπεν ἀρχιερεύς, ὅσιος, ἄκακος, ἀμίαντος, κεχωρισμένος ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ ὑψηλότερος τῶν οὐρανῶν γενόμενος· For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, free from wrongdoing, undefiled, separate from sinners and having become higher than the heavens,
Heb 7:27 ὃς οὐκ ἔχει καθ' ἡμέραν ἀνάγκην, ὥσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἁμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν, ἔπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ· τοῦτο γὰρ ἐποίησεν ἐφάπαξ, ἑαυτὸν ἀνενέγκας. who does not need each day, as the high priests do, first to offer sacrifices for their own sins, then for those of the people, since he did this once and for all when he offered himself. since ← for.
once and for all: i.e. once, and then that has done the job permanently. (We wish to avoid any misunderstanding of this English idiom.) The definitive sense and for all is implied by the strengthening prefix ἐφ-.
Heb 7:28 Ὁ νόμος γὰρ ἀνθρώπους καθίστησιν ἀρχιερεῖς, ἔχοντας ἀσθένειαν· ὁ λόγος δὲ τῆς ὁρκωμοσίας τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον, υἱὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τετελειωμένον. For the law appoints men as priests having weakness, but the word of the swearing of an oath which came after the law appoints a son who has been brought to perfection throughout the age.
Heb 8:1 Κεφάλαιον δὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις· τοιοῦτον ἔχομεν ἀρχιερέα, ὃς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, Now the essence of the things spoken of is that we have a high priest of such a kind, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of majesty in the heavens,
Heb 8:2 τῶν ἁγίων λειτουργός, καὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τῆς ἀληθινῆς, ἣν ἔπηξεν ὁ κύριος, καὶ οὐκ ἄνθρωπος· a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched and not man. sanctuary: or holy things, or holy people. See Eph 1:18, Eph 2:19.
Heb 8:3 πᾶς γὰρ ἀρχιερεὺς εἰς τὸ προσφέρειν δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίας καθίσταται· ὅθεν ἀναγκαῖον ἔχειν τι καὶ τοῦτον ὃ προσενέγκῃ. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Hence it is necessary that this one also has something to offer.
Heb 8:4 Εἰ μὲν γὰρ ἦν ἐπὶ γῆς, οὐδ' ἂν ἦν ἱερεύς, ὄντων τῶν ἱερέων τῶν προσφερόντων κατὰ τὸν νόμον τὰ δῶρα, For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, seeing that there are priests who offer gifts according to the law, seeing that: causal use of the participle.
Heb 8:5 οἵτινες ὑποδείγματι καὶ σκιᾷ λατρεύουσιν τῶν ἐπουρανίων, καθὼς κεχρημάτισται {RP P1904: Μωϋσῆς} [TR: Μωσῆς] μέλλων ἐπιτελεῖν τὴν σκηνήν, Ὅρα, γάρ φησιν, {RP P1904: ποιήσεις} [TR: ποιήσῃς] πάντα κατὰ τὸν τύπον τὸν δειχθέντα σοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει. who minister by example and foreshadowing of upper-heavenly things, as Moses was oracularly instructed when he was about to take the tabernacle through to completion. For he said, “{RP P1904: Look, you shall make} [TR: See that you make] everything according to the model shown to you on the mountain.” Μωϋσῆς, Moüses, RP P1904 F1859=10/11 vs. Μωσῆς, Moses, TR F1859=1/11 (Scrivener's m).
ποιήσεις, you will make, RP P1904 F1859=11/11 vs. ποιήσῃς, that you make (subjunctive), TR F1859=0/11.
Ex 25:9, Ex 25:40, Ex 26:30.
on ← in, but also upon.
Heb 8:6 Νυνὶ δὲ διαφορωτέρας {RP: τέτυχεν} [P1904 TR: τέτευχεν] λειτουργίας, ὅσῳ καὶ κρείττονός ἐστιν διαθήκης μεσίτης, ἥτις ἐπὶ κρείττοσιν ἐπαγγελίαις νενομοθέτηται. But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry inasmuch as he is also a mediator of a better covenant, which has been drawn up on the basis of better promises. τέτυχεν, he has obtained (non-classical form), RP F1859=0/12 vs. τέτευχεν, he has obtained (late classical form), P1904 TR F1859=10/12 (Scrivener's b**cfghklmno) vs. τέτυχηκε(ν), he has obtained (classical form), F1859=2/12 (Scrivener's ab*). A strong disparity with RP, R=0:12. We have verified Scrivener's cfhk.
inasmuch as ← by the same amount as.
Heb 8:7 Εἰ γὰρ ἡ πρώτη ἐκείνη ἦν ἄμεμπτος, οὐκ ἂν δευτέρας ἐζητεῖτο τόπος. For if that first one were faultless, no place would be sought for a second one.
Heb 8:8 Μεμφόμενος γὰρ αὐτοῖς λέγει, Ἰδού, ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει κύριος, καὶ συντελέσω ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰούδα διαθήκην καινήν· For finding fault with those people, he says, “ ‘Behold, the days are coming’, says the Lord, ‘when I will thoroughly bring a new covenant about with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Jer 31:31.
those people ← them (masculine; possibly neuter), but we cannot translate “them”, as in English the word would appear to refer to the covenants (feminine in Greek), which would make it look as though the second covenant were faulty.
Heb 8:9 οὐ κατὰ τὴν διαθήκην ἣν ἐποίησα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπιλαβομένου {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: μου} [E1624: - ] τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· ὅτι αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἐνέμειναν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ μου, κἀγὼ ἠμέλησα αὐτῶν, λέγει κύριος. not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, since they did not remain in my covenant, and I let them have their way’, says the Lord. μου, I (in the genitive): present in RP P1904 S1550 S1894 F1859=11/12 (incl. c(tacite) and m** of a recent hand) vs. absent in E1624 F1859=1/12 (Scrivener's m*).
let them have their way: or disregarded them, or disdained them.
Jer 31:32.
Heb 8:10 Ὅτι αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη ἣν διαθήσομαι τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας, λέγει κύριος, διδοὺς νόμους μου εἰς τὴν διάνοιαν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν ἐπιγράψω αὐτούς· καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς θεόν, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν. ‘For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel, after those days’, says the Lord: ‘I will put my laws in their mind, and I will write them on their hearts, and I will be God to them, and they will be a people to me. Jer 31:33.
I will put: temporal use of the participle, taking its time frame form the main verb (I will write ... on).
Heb 8:11 Καὶ οὐ μὴ διδάξωσιν ἕκαστος τὸν {RP P1904: πολίτην} [TR: πλησίον] αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, λέγων, Γνῶθι τὸν κύριον· ὅτι πάντες εἰδήσουσίν με, ἀπὸ μικροῦ αὐτῶν ἕως μεγάλου αὐτῶν. And not a single one of them will have to teach his {RP P1904: fellow citizen} [TR: neighbour] at all, nor a single one of them his brother, saying, «Know the Lord», because all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, πολίτην, citizen, RP P1904 F1859=7/11 vs. πλησίον, neighbour, TR F1859=4/11 (Scrivener's acfh).
Jer 31:34.
not ... nor a single one of them (two occurrences) ← each ... not.
least ... greatest ← small ... great. Positive degree for superlative.
Heb 8:12 Ὅτι ἵλεως ἔσομαι ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ μνησθῶ ἔτι. because I will be propitious with their wrongdoings, and I will no longer remember their sins and their lawless deeds at all.’ ” Jer 31:34.
Heb 8:13 Ἐν τῷ λέγειν, Καινήν, πεπαλαίωκεν τὴν πρώτην. Τὸ δὲ παλαιούμενον καὶ γηράσκον, ἐγγὺς ἀφανισμοῦ. In saying “new”, he has made the first obsolete. Now that which is obsolete and ageing is on the point of vanishing. on the point of ← close to.
Heb 9:1 Εἶχεν μὲν οὖν καὶ ἡ πρώτη {RP S1894: - } [P1904 S1550 E1624: σκηνὴ] δικαιώματα λατρείας, τό τε ἅγιον κοσμικόν. The first {RP S1894: one} [P1904 S1550 E1624: tabernacle] did indeed have ordinances of religious service and the worldly sanctuary. σκηνὴ, tent, tabernacle: absent in RP S1894 F1859=3/12 (Scrivener's hln*) vs. present in P1904 S1550 E1624 F1859=9/12 (incl. n**, a recent hand in the margin). A disparity with RP, R=4:11.
{RP S1894: one: there is no nearby noun connected with the word first, and a forward reference to tabernacle (Heb 9:2) is possible, as is covenant (Heb 8:10), implicitly resumed by the feminine new and first in Heb 8:13. But the word tabernacle could be in the original text.}
sanctuary ← holy (thing), here the neuter singular (though usually plural, as in Heb 8:2, Heb 9:2).
Heb 9:2 Σκηνὴ γὰρ κατεσκευάσθη ἡ πρώτη, ἐν ᾗ ἥ τε λυχνία καὶ ἡ τράπεζα καὶ ἡ πρόθεσις τῶν ἄρτων, ἥτις λέγεται ἅγια. For the first tabernacle was fitted out in which there was the lampstand and the table and the exhibition of the showbread, which is called the sanctuary. We establish some terminology here and in the next verse. The plural ἅγια is the sanctuary. The polyptoton ἅγια ἁγίων is the holy of holies.
Heb 9:3 Μετὰ δὲ τὸ δεύτερον καταπέτασμα σκηνὴ ἡ λεγομένη ἅγια ἁγίων, But after the second veil is the tabernacle which is called the holy of holies,
Heb 9:4 χρυσοῦν ἔχουσα θυμιατήριον, καὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης περικεκαλυμμένην πάντοθεν χρυσίῳ, ἐν ᾗ στάμνος χρυσῆ ἔχουσα τὸ μάννα, καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος Ἀαρὼν ἡ βλαστήσασα, καὶ αἱ πλάκες τῆς διαθήκης· having a golden censer and the ark of the covenant, overlaid on all sides with gold, in which is a golden jar containing the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
Heb 9:5 ὑπεράνω δὲ αὐτῆς Χερουβὶμ δόξης κατασκιάζοντα τὸ ἱλαστήριον· περὶ ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν νῦν λέγειν κατὰ μέρος. And above it are the cherubim of glory overshadowing the atonement cover, concerning whom it is not now possible to speak particularly. cherubim ... whom: grammatically neuter, seen by the participle overshadowing, though our relative pronoun whom represents them as for persons.
atonement cover ← atonement place.
Heb 9:6 Τούτων δὲ οὕτως κατεσκευασμένων, εἰς μὲν τὴν πρώτην σκηνὴν διὰ παντὸς εἰσίασιν οἱ ἱερεῖς, τὰς λατρείας ἐπιτελοῦντες· And with these things fitted out in this way, the priests continually go into the first tabernacle, carrying out the religious services, go ← will go, classically, but present in sense in this passage as are the other finite verbs.
Heb 9:7 εἰς δὲ τὴν δευτέραν ἅπαξ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ μόνος ὁ ἀρχιερεύς, οὐ χωρὶς αἵματος, ὃ προσφέρει ὑπὲρ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ ἀγνοημάτων· but the high priest alone goes into the second tabernacle once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of ignorance of the people,
Heb 9:8 τοῦτο δηλοῦντος τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου, μήπω πεφανερῶσθαι τὴν τῶν ἁγίων ὁδόν, ἔτι τῆς πρώτης σκηνῆς ἐχούσης στάσιν· the holy spirit demonstrating this: that the way of the sanctuary has not yet been made manifest since the first tabernacle is still standing, since: causal use of the participle.
Heb 9:9 ἥτις παραβολὴ εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τὸν ἐνεστηκότα, καθ' ὃν δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίαι προσφέρονται, μὴ δυνάμεναι κατὰ συνείδησιν τελειῶσαι τὸν λατρεύοντα, which is a figure pointing to the present time, in accordance with which gifts and sacrifices are offered which are not able to make the officiator perfect as pertaining to the conscience,
Heb 9:10 μόνον ἐπὶ βρώμασιν καὶ πόμασιν καὶ διαφόροις βαπτισμοῖς καὶ δικαιώμασιν σαρκός, μέχρι καιροῦ διορθώσεως ἐπικείμενα. just being based on food and drink and various baptisms and carnal statutes, imposed on them until the time of reform. food and drink: plural, so strictly foodstuffs and beverages.
carnal statutes ← statutes of flesh, a Hebraic genitive.
Heb 9:11 Χριστὸς δὲ παραγενόμενος ἀρχιερεὺς τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν, διὰ τῆς μείζονος καὶ τελειοτέρας σκηνῆς, οὐ χειροποιήτου, τοῦτ' ἔστιν, οὐ ταύτης τῆς κτίσεως, But now Christ has come as high priest of good things to come, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, more perfect: i.e. perfect for a higher sphere.
creation: AV differs somewhat (building).
Heb 9:12 οὐδὲ δι' αἵματος τράγων καὶ μόσχων, διὰ δὲ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος εἰσῆλθεν ἐφάπαξ εἰς τὰ ἅγια, αἰωνίαν λύτρωσιν {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: εὑράμενος} [E1624: εὑρόμενος]. and not through the blood of goats and calves, but it is through his own blood that he went into the sanctuary once and for all, having made himself an age-abiding redemption. εὑράμενος, having found / made himself (non-classical form), RP P1904 S1550 S1894 F1859=11/12 vs. εὑρόμενος, having found / made himself (classical form), E1624 F1859=1/12 (Scrivener's e).
once and for all: see Heb 7:27.
made himself ← found for himself, but also made himself [LS].
Heb 9:13 Εἰ γὰρ τὸ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων, καὶ σποδὸς δαμάλεως ῥαντίζουσα τοὺς κεκοινωμένους, ἁγιάζει πρὸς τὴν τῆς σαρκὸς καθαρότητα, For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkled on the defiled, sanctify for the purity of the flesh, Punctuation: our second comma is not as RP.
sanctify ← sanctifies, agreeing with one of the two singular subjects, the blood or the ashes.
Heb 9:14 πόσῳ μᾶλλον τὸ αἷμα τοῦ χριστοῦ, ὃς διὰ πνεύματος αἰωνίου ἑαυτὸν προσήνεγκεν ἄμωμον τῷ θεῷ, καθαριεῖ τὴν συνείδησιν ὑμῶν ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων, εἰς τὸ λατρεύειν θεῷ ζῶντι; how much more will the blood of Christ, who through age-abiding spirit offered himself unblemished to God, purify your conscience from dead works, for you to serve the living God! We punctuate as an exclamation; RP P1904 TBS-TR as a question.
Heb 9:15 Καὶ διὰ τοῦτο διαθήκης καινῆς μεσίτης ἐστίν, ὅπως, θανάτου γενομένου εἰς ἀπολύτρωσιν τῶν ἐπὶ τῇ πρώτῃ διαθήκῃ παραβάσεων, τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν λάβωσιν οἱ κεκλημένοι τῆς αἰωνίου κληρονομίας. And because of this he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, his death having taken place as a ransom for the transgressions under the first covenant, those who have been called might receive the promise of the age-abiding inheritance.
Heb 9:16 Ὅπου γὰρ διαθήκη, θάνατον ἀνάγκη φέρεσθαι τοῦ διαθεμένου. For where there is a covenant, the death of the testator must necessarily be announced. be announced ← be brought, i.e. word be brought.
Heb 9:17 Διαθήκη γὰρ ἐπὶ νεκροῖς βεβαία, ἐπεὶ μήποτε ἰσχύει ὅτε ζῇ ὁ διαθέμενος. For a testament is applicable on the basis of the deceased, since it is never in force while the testator is alive, applicable ← firm.
deceased ← dead (plural).
Heb 9:18 Ὅθεν οὐδ' ἡ πρώτη χωρὶς αἵματος ἐγκεκαίνισται. on which grounds the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood either. on which grounds ← whence.
Heb 9:19 Λαληθείσης γὰρ πάσης ἐντολῆς κατὰ {RP TR: - } [P1904: τὸν] νόμον ὑπὸ Μωϋσέως παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, λαβὼν τὸ αἷμα τῶν μόσχων καὶ τράγων, μετὰ ὕδατος καὶ ἐρίου κοκκίνου καὶ ὑσσώπου, αὐτό τε τὸ βιβλίον καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν ἐρράντισεν, For when the whole body of commandments according to {RP TR: the} [P1904: the] law under Moses had been stated to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and he sprinkled both the book itself and the whole people, τὸν, the: absent in RP TR F1859=10/12 vs. present in P1904 F1859=2/12 (Scrivener's gk).
Heb 9:20 λέγων, Τοῦτο τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης ἧς ἐνετείλατο πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὁ θεός. saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you.” Ex 24:8.
Heb 9:21 Καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν δὲ καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τῆς λειτουργίας τῷ αἵματι ὁμοίως ἐρράντισεν. And he likewise sprinkled the tabernacle and all the equipment for the service with blood. with blood ← (rendered) by the blood.
Heb 9:22 Καὶ σχεδὸν ἐν αἵματι πάντα καθαρίζεται κατὰ τὸν νόμον, καὶ χωρὶς αἱματεκχυσίας οὐ γίνεται ἄφεσις. And almost everything is purified by blood according to the law, and without the shedding of blood forgiveness does not take place.
Heb 9:23 Ἀνάγκη οὖν τὰ μὲν ὑποδείγματα τῶν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, τούτοις καθαρίζεσθαι, αὐτὰ δὲ τὰ ἐπουράνια κρείττοσιν θυσίαις παρὰ ταύτας. So it was necessary that the figures of things in the heavens should be purified by these means, but the upper-heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these.
Heb 9:24 Οὐ γὰρ εἰς χειροποίητα ἅγια εἰσῆλθεν ὁ χριστός, ἀντίτυπα τῶν ἀληθινῶν, ἀλλ' εἰς αὐτὸν τὸν οὐρανόν, νῦν ἐμφανισθῆναι τῷ προσώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν· For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is a prefiguration of the true one, but into heaven itself, to be exhibited now in the presence of God for our sakes. true one: i.e. true sanctuary (though plural in Greek, as sanctuary is plural).
Heb 9:25 οὐδ' ἵνα πολλάκις προσφέρῃ ἑαυτόν, ὥσπερ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἰσέρχεται εἰς τὰ ἅγια κατ' ἐνιαυτὸν ἐν αἵματι ἀλλοτρίῳ· And not in order to offer himself repeatedly, as when the high priest enters into the sanctuary each year with blood which is not his,
Heb 9:26 ἐπεὶ ἔδει αὐτὸν πολλάκις παθεῖν ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου· νῦν δὲ ἅπαξ ἐπὶ συντελείᾳ τῶν αἰώνων εἰς ἀθέτησιν ἁμαρτίας διὰ τῆς θυσίας αὐτοῦ πεφανέρωται. since then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the overthrow of the world. But now he has been manifested once for the consummation of the ages to annul sin by the sacrifice of himself. overthrow: AV differs; see Matt 13:35.
Heb 9:27 Καὶ καθ' ὅσον ἀπόκειται τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἅπαξ ἀποθανεῖν, μετὰ δὲ τοῦτο κρίσις· And just as it is the destiny for men to die once, and after this the judgment,
Heb 9:28 οὕτως {RP P1904: καὶ} [TR: - ] ὁ χριστός, ἅπαξ προσενεχθεὶς εἰς τὸ πολλῶν ἀνενεγκεῖν ἁμαρτίας, ἐκ δευτέρου χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας ὀφθήσεται τοῖς αὐτὸν ἀπεκδεχομένοις, εἰς σωτηρίαν. so {RP P1904: too} [TR: - ] Christ, having been offered once in order to take upon himself the sins of many, will appear a second time without sin to those who eagerly await him for salvation. καὶ, also: present in RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. absent in TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's b).
take upon himself ← bring up, but also take upon himself [LS].
Heb 10:1 Σκιὰν γὰρ ἔχων ὁ νόμος τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν, οὐκ αὐτὴν τὴν εἰκόνα τῶν πραγμάτων, κατ' ἐνιαυτὸν ταῖς αὐταῖς θυσίαις ἃς προσφέρουσιν εἰς τὸ διηνεκές, οὐδέποτε {RP: δύνανται} [P1904 TR: δύναται] τοὺς προσερχομένους τελειῶσαι. For {RP: seeing that the law has a shadow of the good things to come, but not the image itself of the things, they} [P1904 TR: the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, but not being the image itself of the things,] can never – with the same sacrifices which they offer every year perpetually – perfect those who draw near. δύνανται, they (the same sacrifices) can (not), RP F1859=8/16 (incl. a**) vs. δύναται, it (the law) can (not), P1904 TR F1859=7/16 (incl. b**l**) vs. word absent, F1859=1/16 (Scrivener's k). A weak disparity with RP, R=8:9. AV differs textually.
{RP: seeing that: causal use of the participle.}
Heb 10:2 Ἐπεὶ {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: οὐκ} [E1624: - ] ἂν ἐπαύσαντο προσφερόμεναι, διὰ τὸ μηδεμίαν ἔχειν ἔτι συνείδησιν ἁμαρτιῶν τοὺς λατρεύοντας, ἅπαξ κεκαθαρμένους; For in that case, {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: would they not} [E1624: they would have] have stopped being offered, because the ministers would not have any consciousness of sins any more, having been purified that one time {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: ?} [E1624: .] οὐκ, not: present in RP P1904 S1550 S1894 F1859=11/13 vs. absent in E1624 F1859=2/13 (Scrivener's ac). Given the context, the presence of the negative makes the sentence interrogative.
Heb 10:3 Ἀλλ' ἐν αὐταῖς ἀνάμνησις ἁμαρτιῶν κατ' ἐνιαυτόν· But by those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. those sacrifices ← them.
Heb 10:4 ἀδύνατον γὰρ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to remove sins,
Heb 10:5 Διὸ εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον λέγει, Θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας, σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι· which is why, on coming into the world, he says,

“You did not desire sacrifice and offering,

But you have prepared a body for me.

 Ps 40:7MT (Ps 40:6AV).
which is why ← on account of which.
Heb 10:6 ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ εὐδόκησας·

You did not take pleasure in burnt offerings and sin-offerings.

 Ps 40:7MT (Ps 40:6AV).
Heb 10:7 τότε εἶπον, Ἰδού, ἥκω - ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ - τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὁ θεός, τὸ θέλημά σου.

Then I said,

‘Behold, I have come

– In the scroll of the book it stands written concerning me –

To do your will, O God.’ ”

 Ps 40:8MT (Ps 40:7AV).
scroll: or chapter. The Hebrew reads scroll (‫מְגִלָּה‬).
Heb 10:8 Ἀνώτερον λέγων ὅτι Θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ἠθέλησας, οὐδὲ εὐδόκησας - αἵτινες κατὰ τὸν νόμον προσφέρονται - Having said above,

“You did not desire or take pleasure in sacrifice and offering

And burnt offerings and offerings for sin”

– which are offered according to the law – 		Ps 40:7MT (Ps 40:6AV).
having said ← saying.
Heb 10:9 τότε εἴρηκεν, Ἰδού, ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὁ θεός, τὸ θέλημά σου. Ἀναιρεῖ τὸ πρῶτον, ἵνα τὸ δεύτερον στήσῃ. he then said,

“Behold, I have come to do your will,

O God.”

So he removes the first in order to establish the second. 		Ps 40:8MT (Ps 40:7AV), Ps 40:9MT (Ps 40:8AV).
Heb 10:10 Ἐν ᾧ θελήματι ἡγιασμένοι ἐσμέν, {RP S1550: οἱ} [P1904 E1624 S1894: - ] διὰ τῆς προσφορᾶς τοῦ σώματος {RP: - } [P1904 TR: τοῦ] Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἐφάπαξ. And by this will we have been sanctified {RP S1550: , we who are so} [P1904 E1624 S1894: - ] through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all. οἱ, the, those who (through the offering): present in RP S1550 F1859=12/14 (incl. c(tacite)) vs. absent in P1904 E1624 S1894 F1859=2/14 (Scrivener's a*k).
τοῦ, the (Jesus Christ): absent in RP F1859=13/13 vs. present in P1904 TR F1859=0/13. A case of collusion between P1904 and TR?
once and for all: see Heb 7:27.
Heb 10:11 Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκεν καθ' ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν, καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας, αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας· Also, every priest stands every day ministering and repeatedly offering the same sacrifices, which can never remove sins,
Heb 10:12 αὐτὸς δὲ μίαν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν προσενέγκας θυσίαν εἰς τὸ διηνεκές, ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ, but he offered one sacrifice for sins and sat down at the right hand of God uninterruptedly, Punctuation: we translate as for a comma before εἰς τὸ διηνεκές, uninterruptedly, continuously, so associating it with Christ's sitting down. The context is the contrast to priests who could never sit down for long. RP TBS-TR, by placing the comma after εἰς τὸ διηνεκές, associate it with offering one sacrifice for sins, which ↴
Heb 10:13 τὸ λοιπὸν ἐκδεχόμενος ἕως τεθῶσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. from then on waiting until his enemies are made his footstool. ↳ would require translating εἰς τὸ διηνεκές by e.g. for perpetuity, which is possible – compare Heb 7:3. P1904 does not ↴
from then on ← (with respect to) the rest.
his footstool ← a footstool of his feet.
Heb 10:14 Μιᾷ γὰρ προσφορᾷ τετελείωκεν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους. For by one offering he has made those who are being sanctified perfect perpetually. ↳ use a comma. Agreeing with us are the Bishop's Bible of 1568 and the 1638 edition of the AV, but not the 1611 edition of the AV, so AV differs. See [CB].
Heb 10:15 Μαρτυρεῖ δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· μετὰ γὰρ τὸ προειρηκέναι, And the holy spirit also witnesses to us, for this is after saying beforehand, saying ← having said, which would be pleonastic in English following the word “after”.
Heb 10:16 Αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη ἣν διαθήσομαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας, λέγει κύριος, διδοὺς νόμους μου ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν διανοιῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγράψω αὐτούς· “This is the covenant which I will make with them after those days”, says the Lord: “I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them in their minds, Jer 31:33.
I will put: see Heb 8:10.
Heb 10:17 καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ μνησθῶ ἔτι. and I will no longer remember their sins and their lawless deeds at all.” Jer 31:34.
Heb 10:18 Ὅπου δὲ ἄφεσις τούτων, οὐκέτι προσφορὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας. Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer offering for sin.
Heb 10:19 Ἔχοντες οὖν, ἀδελφοί, παρρησίαν εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι {RP TR: - } [P1904: τοῦ] Ἰησοῦ, So, brothers, considering we have confidence to enter into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, τοῦ, the (Jesus): absent in RP TR F1859=13/14 vs. present in P1904 F1859=1/14 (Scrivener's z).
considering: causal use of the participle.
to enter ← to the entrance.
Heb 10:20 ἣν ἐνεκαίνισεν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν πρόσφατον καὶ ζῶσαν, διὰ τοῦ καταπετάσματος, τοῦτ' ἔστιν, τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, through an entrance which he inaugurated for us as a fresh and living way, through the veil, that is, through his flesh, through an entrance: the relative pronoun could alternatively theoretically refer back to confidence, or forward to fresh and living way.
Heb 10:21 καὶ ἱερέα μέγαν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ, and considering we have a great priest over the house of God, great priest: not the term used for high priest, though the AV translates that way. So AV differs somewhat.
Heb 10:22 προσερχώμεθα μετὰ ἀληθινῆς καρδίας ἐν πληροφορίᾳ πίστεως, ἐρραντισμένοι τὰς καρδίας ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς, καὶ λελουμένοι τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι καθαρῷ· let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled in respect of the heart from a guilty conscience and washed as regards the body in pure water. the heart ← the hearts.
guilty ← bad, to accord with English idiom.
Heb 10:23 κατέχωμεν τὴν ὁμολογίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἀκλινῆ, πιστὸς γὰρ ὁ ἐπαγγειλάμενος· Let us hold on to the confession of our hope unwaveringly, for he who promised is faithful. hope: AV differs, reading faith, but none of our editions or Scrivener's manuscripts reads the Greek word for of faith, πίστεως, which occurs in the previous verse.
Heb 10:24 καὶ κατανοῶμεν ἀλλήλους εἰς παροξυσμὸν ἀγάπης καὶ καλῶν ἔργων, And let us take notice of one another as a stimulus to love and good works,
Heb 10:25 μὴ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὴν ἐπισυναγωγὴν ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς ἔθος τισίν, ἀλλὰ παρακαλοῦντες, καὶ τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον, ὅσῳ βλέπετε ἐγγίζουσαν τὴν ἡμέραν. not abandoning our own episynagogue gathering, as is the custom of some, but encouraging each other, and all the more so as you see the day approaching. episynagogue gathering ← episynagogue, an elevated derivative of the word for synagogue, appropriate to the addressees of this epistle: the Hebrews.
all the more ← by so much more.
Heb 10:26 Ἑκουσίως γὰρ ἁμαρτανόντων ἡμῶν μετὰ τὸ λαβεῖν τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τῆς ἀληθείας, οὐκέτι περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἀπολείπεται θυσία, For if we deliberately sin after receiving knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, if: conditional use of the participle.
knowledge: or acknowledgment.
Heb 10:27 φοβερὰ δέ τις ἐκδοχὴ κρίσεως, καὶ πυρὸς ζῆλος ἐσθίειν μέλλοντος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους. but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a zealous fire which is about to devour those who are in opposition. zealous fire ← zeal of fire, a reverse Hebraic genitive, with the nomen regens as the adjective. Compare Eph 6:12, Heb 11:34.
Heb 10:28 Ἀθετήσας τις νόμον {RP-text P1904: Μωϋσέως} [RP-marg TR: Μωσέως] χωρὶς οἰκτιρμῶν ἐπὶ δυσὶν ἢ τρισὶν μάρτυσιν ἀποθνῄσκει· Anyone who lays aside the law of Moses on the testimony of two or three witnesses dies without mercy. Μωϋσέως, Moüses, RP-text P1904 F1859=5/14 (Scrivener's demno) vs. Μωσέως, Moses, RP-marg TR F1859=6/14 (Scrivener's abcgkz) vs. Μωϋσέος, Moses, F1859=3/14 (Scrivener's fhl). A weak disparity with RP-text, R=6:7.
lays aside ← has laid aside.
Heb 10:29 πόσῳ, δοκεῖτε, χείρονος ἀξιωθήσεται τιμωρίας ὁ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καταπατήσας, καὶ τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης κοινὸν ἡγησάμενος ἐν ᾧ ἡγιάσθη, καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος ἐνυβρίσας; Of how much worse punishment do you think he who tramples on the son of God will be considered worthy, and who considers profane the blood of the covenant in which he was sanctified, and who insults the spirit of grace? tramples ← trampled. See Matt 23:20.
considers ← considered. See Matt 23:20.
insults ← insulted. See Matt 23:20.
Heb 10:30 Οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα, Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω, λέγει κύριος· καὶ πάλιν, κύριος κρινεῖ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ. For we know him who has said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay”, says the Lord, and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” Deut 32:35, Deut 32:36.
Heb 10:31 Φοβερὸν τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας θεοῦ ζῶντος. It is a fearful matter to fall into the hands of the living God.
Heb 10:32 Ἀναμιμνῄσκεσθε δὲ τὰς πρότερον ἡμέρας, ἐν αἷς φωτισθέντες πολλὴν ἄθλησιν ὑπεμείνατε παθημάτων· But remember the former days, in which you were enlightened and endured a great struggle full of sufferings.
Heb 10:33 τοῦτο μέν, ὀνειδισμοῖς τε καὶ θλίψεσιν θεατριζόμενοι· τοῦτο δέ, κοινωνοὶ τῶν οὕτως ἀναστρεφομένων γενηθέντες. Sometimes you were made a gazing stock with reproaches and afflictions, whereas at other times you made common cause with those who had that mode of life. made common cause with ← became in common with.
who had that mode of life ← (who) having lived / having conducted themselves thus, i.e. (who) endured a struggle and suffered.
Heb 10:34 Καὶ γὰρ τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου συνεπαθήσατε, καὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς προσεδέξασθε, γινώσκοντες ἔχειν {RP: - } [P1904 TR: ἐν] ἑαυτοῖς κρείττονα ὕπαρξιν ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ μένουσαν. For indeed you sympathized with my bonds, and you accepted the confiscation of your property with joy, knowing that you have {RP: for} [P1904 TR: among] yourselves better and permanent property in the heavens. ἐν, in: absent in RP F1859=9/13 vs. present in P1904 TR F1859=4/13 (Scrivener's degk).
Heb 10:35 Μὴ ἀποβάλητε οὖν τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἔχει μισθαποδοσίαν μεγάλην. So do not discard your confidence, which has a great reward.
Heb 10:36 Ὑπομονῆς γὰρ ἔχετε χρείαν, ἵνα τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ποιήσαντες κομίσησθε τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν. For you need patience, in order that when you have done the will of God, you receive the promise.
Heb 10:37 Ἔτι γὰρ μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον, Ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἥξει, καὶ οὐ χρονιεῖ. For in just a very little while he who is to come will come and will not delay. Dan 7:13, Hagg 2:7, Hab 2:3.
is to come ← is coming.
Heb 10:38 Ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται· καὶ ἐὰν ὑποστείληται, οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ. And the righteous shall live by faith, but if he draws back, my being shall not be pleased with him. Hab 2:4.
being ← soul.
Heb 10:39 Ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑποστολῆς εἰς ἀπώλειαν, ἀλλὰ πίστεως εἰς περιποίησιν ψυχῆς. But we are not ones to draw back leading to loss, but we are of faith, leading to the preservation of one's being. to draw back ← of drawing back.
loss: see John 3:16.
one's being ← soul.
Heb 11:1 Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων. Now faith is the entitlement to things hoped for, the conviction of matters not seen. conviction: i.e. being convinced (not condemnation). Perhaps here a claim.
Heb 11:2 Ἐν ταύτῃ γὰρ ἐμαρτυρήθησαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι. For by it the elders were attested to. it ← this.
Heb 11:3 Πίστει νοοῦμεν κατηρτίσθαι τοὺς αἰῶνας ῥήματι θεοῦ, εἰς τὸ μὴ ἐκ φαινομένων τὰ βλεπόμενα γεγονέναι. By faith we understand that the ages have been arranged by the word of God, in such a way that the things seen did not come about from things appearing automatically. arranged: or rearranged. On the making of the ages, compare Heb 1:2.
Heb 11:4 Πίστει πλείονα θυσίαν Ἄβελ παρὰ Κάϊν προσήνεγκεν τῷ θεῷ, δι' ἧς ἐμαρτυρήθη εἶναι δίκαιος, μαρτυροῦντος ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ δι' αὐτῆς ἀποθανὼν ἔτι {RP P1904 S1550 E1624: λαλεῖται} [S1894: λαλεῖ]. By faith Abel offered a greater sacrifice to God than Cain, through which he was attested to be righteous, God himself testifying about his gifts, and through it, although he has died, {RP P1904 S1550 E1624: he is still adduced} [S1894: he still speaks]. λαλεῖται, is spoken of, RP P1904 S1550 E1624 F1859=12/14 vs. λαλεῖ, speaks, S1894 F1859=1/14 (Scrivener's a**) vs. another reading, F1859=1/14 (Scrivener's o). AV differs textually, following S1894.
himself ... his: either, but not both, of these words could come from the one occurrence of αὐτοῦ. AV differs from our choice, not having “himself”.
although: concessive use of the participle.
Heb 11:5 Πίστει Ἑνὼχ μετετέθη τοῦ μὴ ἰδεῖν θάνατον, καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκετο, διότι μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός· πρὸ γὰρ τῆς μεταθέσεως αὐτοῦ μεμαρτύρηται εὐηρεστηκέναι τῷ θεῷ· By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and he was not found anywhere, because God had translated him. After all, before his translation he had been attested to have pleased God.
Heb 11:6 χωρὶς δὲ πίστεως ἀδύνατον εὐαρεστῆσαι· πιστεῦσαι γὰρ {RP P1904c TR: δεῖ} [P1904u: δὴ] τὸν προσερχόμενον τῷ θεῷ, ὅτι ἔστιν, καὶ τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσιν αὐτὸν μισθαποδότης γίνεται. But without faith, it is impossible to please him. For he who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him out. is ← becomes.
Heb 11:7 Πίστει χρηματισθεὶς Νῶε περὶ τῶν μηδέπω βλεπομένων, εὐλαβηθεὶς κατεσκεύασεν κιβωτὸν εἰς σωτηρίαν τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ· δι' ἧς κατέκρινεν τὸν κόσμον, καὶ τῆς κατὰ πίστιν δικαιοσύνης ἐγένετο κληρονόμος. By faith Noah, having been oracularly warned about things not yet seen, took devout heed and prepared an ark for the safety of his household, by which he condemned the world and became an heir to righteousness which is by faith.
Heb 11:8 Πίστει καλούμενος Ἀβραὰμ ὑπήκουσεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν {RP TR: ἤμελλεν} [P1904: ἔμελλεν] λαμβάνειν εἰς κληρονομίαν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν μὴ ἐπιστάμενος ποῦ ἔρχεται. By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed in going out to the place which he was to receive as an inheritance, and he went out not knowing where he was going. ἤμελλε(ν), he was going to (1), RP TR F1859=6/13 (Scrivener's dhlmno) vs. ἔμελλε(ν), he was going to (2), P1904 F1859=7/13 (Scrivener's abcefgk). A weak disparity with RP, R=7:8, all the more of a disparity with the weaker manuscripts on the side of RP (hm weak?).
Heb 11:9 Πίστει παρῴκησεν εἰς {RP-text: - } [RP-marg P1904 TR: τὴν] γῆν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, ὡς ἀλλοτρίαν, ἐν σκηναῖς κατοικήσας μετὰ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ, τῶν συγκληρονόμων τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τῆς αὐτῆς· By faith he lived as an emigrant in {RP-text: the} [RP-marg P1904 TR: the] land of the promise as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise. τὴν, the: absent in RP-text F1859=8/15 vs. present in RP-marg P1904 TR F1859=7/15 (Scrivener's a**b**flmno). A weak disparity with RP-text, R=8:9.
living ← having lived. See Matt 23:20.
Heb 11:10 ἐξεδέχετο γὰρ τὴν τοὺς θεμελίους ἔχουσαν πόλιν, ἧς τεχνίτης καὶ δημιουργὸς ὁ θεός. For he was waiting for the city which has foundations, whose architect and craftsman is God. whose architect and craftsman is God ← of which God is the architect and craftsman, observing what is strictly subject and complement.
Heb 11:11 Πίστει καὶ αὐτὴ Σάρρα δύναμιν εἰς καταβολὴν σπέρματος ἔλαβεν, καὶ παρὰ καιρὸν ἡλικίας ἔτεκεν, ἐπεὶ πιστὸν ἡγήσατο τὸν ἐπαγγειλάμενον. By faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive seed, and when past the prime of life she gave birth, because she considered him who made the promise faithful, conceive: classically, the cognate verb is used of sowing seed by throwing it down.
Heb 11:12 Διὸ καὶ ἀφ' ἑνὸς ἐγεννήθησαν, καὶ ταῦτα νενεκρωμένου, καθὼς τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ πλήθει, καὶ {RP P1904: ὡς} [TR: ὡσεὶ] {RP P1904: ἡ} [TR: - ] ἄμμος ἡ παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τῆς θαλάσσης ἡ ἀναρίθμητος. which is also why there were begotten from one – who was in these respects considered dead – as many as the stars of the sky in abundance and as {RP P1904: the} [TR: the] sand of the sea-shore which is uncountable. ὡς, as (1), RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. ὡσεὶ, as (2), TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's c).
ἡ, the (sand): present in RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. absent in TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's c).
Gen 15:5, Gen 22:17, Gen 26:4, Ex 32:13.
which is also why ← on account of which also.
Heb 11:13 Κατὰ πίστιν ἀπέθανον οὗτοι πάντες, μὴ λαβόντες τὰς ἐπαγγελίας, ἀλλὰ πόρρωθεν αὐτὰς ἰδόντες, {RP P1904: - } [TR: καὶ πεισθέντες,] καὶ ἀσπασάμενοι, καὶ ὁμολογήσαντες ὅτι ξένοι καὶ παρεπίδημοί εἰσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. In faith these all died, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, {RP P1904: - } [TR: and having been persuaded of them,] and having embraced them, and they confessed that they were foreigners and outsiders on the earth. καὶ πεισθέντες, and having been persuaded: absent in RP P1904 F1859=12/13 vs. present in TR F1859=1/13 (Scrivener's c). AV differs textually.
Gen 23:4, Ex 2:22, Ps 39:13MT (Ps 39:12AV), 1 Chr 29:15.
Heb 11:14 Οἱ γὰρ τοιαῦτα λέγοντες ἐμφανίζουσιν ὅτι πατρίδα ἐπιζητοῦσιν. For those who say such things make it plain that they seek a homeland.
Heb 11:15 Καὶ εἰ μὲν ἐκείνης ἐμνημόνευον ἀφ' ἧς ἐξῆλθον, εἶχον ἂν καιρὸν ἀνακάμψαι. And if they had kept thinking back to where they had come out from, they would have had an opportunity to turn back. kept thinking back: iterative imperfect, overriding the present timeframe of an unreal condition.
where ← that (place) from which.
Heb 11:16 {RP P1904: Νῦν} [TR: Νυνὶ] δὲ κρείττονος ὀρέγονται, τοῦτ' ἔστιν, ἐπουρανίου· διὸ οὐκ ἐπαισχύνεται αὐτοὺς ὁ θεός, θεὸς ἐπικαλεῖσθαι αὐτῶν· ἡτοίμασεν γὰρ αὐτοῖς πόλιν. But as it is, they aspire to a better homeland, that is to say, an upper-heavenly one. For that reason God is not ashamed of them to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. νῦν, now (1), RP P1904 F1859=10/13 vs. νυνὶ, now (2), TR F1859=3/13 (Scrivener's deg).
as it is ← now.
Heb 11:17 Πίστει προσενήνοχεν Ἀβραὰμ τὸν Ἰσαὰκ πειραζόμενος, καὶ τὸν μονογενῆ προσέφερεν ὁ τὰς ἐπαγγελίας ἀναδεξάμενος, By faith Abraham offered Isaac when he was tested, and having received the promises, he was in the process of offering his only-begotten son, offered ← has offered, perhaps conveying the notion of stands as having offered, but the perfect for the aorist occurs elsewhere in this epistle (e.g. Heb 7:6, Heb 10:9, Heb 11:28).
in the process of offering: imperfect tense, with a flavour of the conative imperfect was trying to offer, or was ready to offer. Abraham had already drawn the knife, Gen 22:10.
Heb 11:18 πρὸς ὃν ἐλαλήθη, ὅτι Ἐν Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα· to whom it had been said, “Your seed will be called in the line of Isaac.” Gen 21:12.
called: i.e. acknowledged.
Heb 11:19 λογισάμενος ὅτι καὶ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγείρειν δυνατὸς ὁ θεός· ὅθεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν παραβολῇ ἐκομίσατο. And he had considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from where he duly got him back in a symbolic way. duly ← also.
back: this comes from the middle voice in ἐκομίσατο.

Heb 11:21 Πίστει Ἰακὼβ ἀποθνῄσκων ἕκαστον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰωσὴφ εὐλόγησεν, καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς ῥάβδου αὐτοῦ. By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshipped leaning on the top of his staff.
Heb 11:22 Πίστει Ἰωσὴφ τελευτῶν περὶ τῆς ἐξόδου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐμνημόνευσεν, καὶ περὶ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτοῦ ἐνετείλατο. By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave commandment concerning his bones.

By faith when he was born, Moses was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was good-looking, and they did not fear the king's edict. Μωϋσῆς, Moüses, RP P1904 F1859=13/13 vs. Μωσῆς, Moses, TR F1859=0/13.
parents ← fathers.
good-looking ← town-bred or fair, as in Acts 7:20. AV differs, to modern ears at least (proper).
