rwp Hebrews:3:13
rwp@Hebrews:3:13 @{Songs:long as it is called today} (\achris hou to smeron kaleitai\). The only instance in the N.T. of this conjunction (\achri\ or \achris\ or \achris hou\, etc.) with the present indicative in the sense of "so long as" or "while" like \hes\. Elsewhere it means "until" and with either the aorist indicative (Acts:7:18|), the future (Revelation:17:17|), or the aorist subjunctive (Revelation:7:3|). {Lest any one of you be hardened} (\hina m sklrunthi tis ex humn\). Negative purpose clause with \hina m\ (that not) and the first aorist passive subjunctive of \sklrun\, the vivid verb from verse 8|. {By the deceitfulness of sin} (\apati ts hamartias\). Instrumental case \apati\ (trick, fraud) as is always the case with sin (Romans:7:11; strkjv@2Thessalonians:2:10|). Apostasy (12:4|) is their peril and it is a trick of sin.
