Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

Hebrews 12:5

καὶ ἐκλέλησθε. “Yet ye have utterly forgotten,” or possibly the words may be intended interrogatively, “Yet have ye utterly forgotten?”

τῆς παρακλήσεως, “the encouragement,” or “strengthening consolation.”

διαλέγεται, “discourseth,” or “reasoneth.”

Υἱέ. The quotation is from Proverbs 3:11-12, and is taken mainly from the LXX. There is a very similar passage in Job 5:17, and Philo de Congr. quaerend. erudit. gr. (Opp. I. 544).

μὴ ὀλιγώρει. “Regard not lightly.”

παιδίας. “The training.”

μηδὲ ἐκλύου, “nor faint.” In the Hebrew it is “and loathe not His correction.”

ἐλεγχόμενος, “on being tested,” “corrected.”
