2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in ¹  their humanity, ²  so that through death he could destroy ³  the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil),

Ibrani 2:1

Warning Against Drifting Away

2:1 Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

1 Petrus 2:24

2:24 He ⁴  himself bore our sins ⁵  in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning ⁶  and live for righteousness. By his ⁷  wounds ⁸  you were healed. ⁹ 

[2:14]  ¹ tn Or “partook of” (this is a different word than the one in v. 14a).

[2:14]  ² tn Grk “the same.”

[2:14]  ³ tn Or “break the power of,” “reduce to nothing.”

[2:24]  ⁴ tn Grk “who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:24]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Isa 53:4, 12.

[2:24]  ⁶ tn The verb ἀπογίνομαι (apoginomai) occurs only here in the NT. It can have a literal meaning (“to die”; L&N 74.27) and a figurative meaning (“to cease”; L&N 68.40). Because it is opposite the verb ζάω (zaw, “to live”), many argue that the meaning of the verb here must be “die” (so BDAG 108 s.v.), but even so literal death would not be in view. “In place of ἀποθνῃσκιεν, the common verb for ‘die,’ ἀπογινεθαι serves Peter as a euphemism, with the meaning ‘to be away’ or ‘to depart’” (J. R. Michaels, 1 Peter [WBC 49], 148). It is a metaphorical way to refer to the decisive separation from sin Jesus accomplished for believers through his death; the result is that believers “may cease from sinning.”

[2:24]  ⁷ tn Grk “whose.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:24]  ⁸ tn Grk the singular: “wound”; “injury.”

[2:24]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Isa 53:5.
