text: B sa, while the vast majority of mss ( א A C D Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 Ï latt) add μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν ( mecri telou" bebaian , “secure until the end”). The external evidence for the omission, though minimal, has excellent credentials. Considering the internal factors, B. M. Metzger ( TCGNT 595) finds it surprising that the feminine adjective βεβαίαν should modify the neuter noun καύχημα ( kauchma , here translated “we take pride”), a fact that suggests that even the form of the word was borrowed from another place. Since the same phrase occurs at Heb 3:14 , it is likely that later scribes added it here at Heb 3:6 in anticipation of Heb 3:14 . While these words belong at 3:14 , they seem foreign to 3:6 .
