Hebrews 3:7

1 tn Traditionally, “servants.” Though δοῦλος (doulos) is normally translated “servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. BDAG notes that “‘servant’ for ‘slave’ is largely confined to Biblical transl. and early American times…in normal usage at the present time the two words are carefully distinguished” (BDAG 260 s.v.). The most accurate translation is “bondservant” (sometimes found in the ASV for δοῦλος), in that it often indicates one who sells himself into slavery to another. But as this is archaic, few today understand its force.

2 tn Grk “that the name…may not be slandered” (a continuation of the preceding sentence).

3 tn Grk “the teaching.”

4 tn Or “slandered.”

Hebrews 3:8

5 tn Or “think the less of them”; Grk “despise them,” “look down on them.”

6 tn Or “those who devote themselves to service are faithful and dearly loved” (referring to slaves who serve them).

7 tn Grk “these things teach and exhort.”

Hebrews 3:9

8 tn Grk “teaches other doctrines,” (different from apostolic teaching, cf. 1 Timothy 1:3).
