Hebrews 6

Hebrews 6:2

:TEXT: “of faith toward God, ·of teaching about baptizings”

KJV ASV RSVn NASV NEB TEV RANK: BNOTES: “of faith toward God, ·[that is], teaching about baptizings”

p46 B two lat

ASVn RSV NIV NEBnCOMMENTS: The reading in the notes, which makes “teaching” in apposition with “faith” was probably a stylistic improvement made by copyists to lessen the number of genitives in the passage.

Hebrews 6:3

:TEXT: “·And this we will do if God permits.”

p46 S B I K 33 614 630 1241 1739 1881 some Byz Lect most lat vg syr(p,h) cop

KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: BNOTES: “·And let us do this if God permits.”

A C D P Psi 81 104 2495 some Byz one lat

RSVnCOMMENTS: The difference between the two readings is the difference between a short “o” (text reading) and a long “o” (reading in the notes). The variation is thus probably due to a mistake of the ear, perhaps because of the preceding exhortation.
