Greek Word Treasures By Bernard Ramin, A.B., B.D. Corrections or illuminations of the text of the Epistle to the Hebrews: (1) Heb. 6:6: “If” is not in the or iginal text. The reference is not to a probability, but an 'actuality. “Fall away” is in the aorist tense, and should be translated, “having fallen away.” (2) Heb. 9:14: “The eternal spirit” is often- applied to the, Holy Spirit, but “the” is absent from the Greek, and this expression is nowhere used- in connection with the Holy Spffit. The contrast between the sacrifices of animals and that of Christ is be ing emphasized. What gives the sac rifice of the Saviour its immeasurable value is that He had an immeasur able spirit, or'patpje, or, as here ex pressed, “ eterna^spirit* so that it re fers to the;' divine nature of Christ, rather than to the Holy Spirit. (3) jHeb. 1:6: “Again” is added toi the verb, by many translators, “And when he bringeth again the first be gotten into the world.” Rendered this way, it may mean the second coming of Christ, which I believe is correct. C4) Heb. 10:26: “For if we wilfully sin,” is misleading. This is an inter esting construction known as the gen itive absolute, which must be trans lated with a “while” and an “ ing.” Thus: “While willingly continuing in sinning” is better, referring not to one who commits a particular sin, but one who continues in a state of sin, re fusing to come to Christ for cleans ing by His blood, even- after hearing of His power to cleanse. We could thus paraphrase it: “While we are continuing in a state Of unforgiven sin, after the reception of the knowl edge as to how our sins may be for given, there remains no other means of providing forgiveness of sins by some other sacrifice.” (5) Heb. 4:12: “Dividing asunder”— not a participle in the Greek, but a noun in the genitive, case and should be translated “ division of.” It may be inferred from this that it is not that the Word of God cuts the soul and spirit in two, but that it alone can discern the moral and spiritual dividing point between “soulish” and “spiritual” acts. The human intellect is unable to judge the basic motiva tion of another’s conduct; only God’s Word can penetrate to the roots and foundations of personality. (6) Heb. 10:34: “For ye had comr passion of me in my bonds”—often used to give weight to the Pauline authorship of Hebrews. In the Greek, the plural, not singular, is used and modern translators correct this to read: “Those in prison” or “with the prisoners you sympathized.”
