That Entire Sanctification is a definite act of God’s grace, subsequent to the New Birth, by which the believer’s heart is purified and made holy. It cannot be attained progressively by works, struggle or suppression, but it is obtained by faith in the sanctifying blood of Jesus Christ. Holiness of life and purity of heart…
Here is the accented text to help those who are still struggling learning the language:
Heb 2.8-10: 8 πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. ἐν τῷ γὰρ ὑποτάξαι [αὐτῷ] τὰ πάντα οὐδὲν ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ ἀνυπότακτον. Νῦν δὲ οὔπω ὁρῶμεν αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ὑποτεταγμένα· 9 τὸν δὲ βραχύ τι παρʼ ἀγγέλους ἠλαττωμένον βλέπομεν Ἰησοῦν διὰ τὸ πάθημα τοῦ θανάτου δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφανωμένον, ὅπως χάριτι θεοῦ ὑπὲρ παντὸς γεύσηται θανάτου. 10 Ἔπρεπεν γὰρ αὐτῷ, διʼ ὃν τὰ πάντα καὶ διʼ οὗ τὰ πάντα, πολλοὺς υἱοὺς εἰς δόξαν ἀγαγόντα τὸν ἀρχηγὸν τῆς σωτηρίας αὐτῶν διὰ παθημάτων τελειῶσαι.

Concerning the comment
“The crowning with glory and honour must, on any natural rendering of the Greek, precede the death.” (A Nairne)
The participle in the phrase δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφανωμένον is perfect (= it has already happened in the writer’s viewpoint and the state continues), but it’s (ἐστεφανωμένον) head/referent is not τὸ πάθημα, but rather βλέπομεν Ἰησοῦν . . .ἐστεφανωμένον. “We see him who has been crowned in glory and honour.”

It seems like this is a Hebraism. In Hebrew, “to be” + preposition “Le” means “to become”, e.g. to become a wife, a people, son, father etc.

Greetings, According to BDAG, the word HEXIS (εξις) really means “a state of maturity” and alternatively translate Heb 5:14: “But solid food is for adults, who because of their mature state have their senses trained to distinguish between good and evil.” But they acknowledge that Greek lexicons and translations render the word as exercise/practice. Which…
[bible passage=”Hebrews 6:1″] Hi Folks, In the historical archives I noticed that there is a fair amount of discussion on the forum over the years about the “divine passive” and related considerations. Including the general uses and misunderstandings of the “passive voice” in translation. Our esteemed moderator, Carl W. Conrad, has written quite interestingly on…

In the Greek text, Hebrews 3:13 reads, “ACHRIS HOU SEMERON KALEITAI” (αχρις ου το σημερον καλειται) I seem to be having difficulty handling “TO SEMERON” In Dan Wallace’s work “Greek Grammar Beyond The Basics” (pg. 232-233) he has a discussion of the article’s use with adverbs, in which he gives 16 examples, out of which…
