Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 3

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 3:14
  
  become partakers of the Christ: Or “have a sharing with the Christ.” The Greek word for “partakers” is rendered “companions” at Heb 1:9 and “partners” at Lu 5:7. However, in this context, the term is used to highlight what Christ’s brothers have in common with him. For example, they would suffer for keeping integrity while on earth, and they would serve Jehovah forever in heaven.—Heb 3:1 and study note; 12:28; 1Pe 4:13; Re 3:21; 20:6.
