This book

This book has ECM (Editio Critica Maior) apparatus at many verses — hover shows manuscripts cited at that verse. The full book catalog (all manuscripts containing Hebrews) is available too.

The chapter view is for reading and quick manuscript discovery. Hover verse superscripts for a preview; open the verse page for full lists, timelines, and analysis tools.

Two manuscript lists

ECM books show both lists: witnesses at this verse (ECM) and all manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (book catalog). The book catalog is the same at every verse in the book.

Book catalog
Manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (from the Kurzgefaßte Liste catalog). The same list appears at every verse — it is not verse-specific attestation.
ECM (Editio Critica Maior)
The Editio Critica Maior (ECM) is the scholarly critical edition of the Greek New Testament. Its apparatus records which manuscripts attest each textual variant at a specific verse.
ECM at this verse
Manuscripts cited in the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) apparatus at this specific verse — witnesses for textual variants here. This is usually a smaller set than the full book catalog.

ECM Books tagged ECM have verse-level textual apparatus from the Editio Critica Maior. Other NT books still show the full book-level manuscript catalog on hover.

1Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.3And this we will do, if God permits.4It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,5who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age—6and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.7For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.8But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.9Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.10For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.11We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.12Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.13When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,14saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”15And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise.16Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.17So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.18Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.19We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,20where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
