Oversight for the Sake of Peace, with Pat Miller: Hebrews 12:14-16

The Greek of Heb. 12:14-16, though rendered into separate sentences in some English translations, is a single Greek sentence. Paying close attention to the internal structure, especially a participle at the beginning of v. 15, sharpens our understanding of the integrated thought: The pursuit of true peace can involve conflict, albeit a conflict for the sake of peace. Pat Miller is an attorney now working on his M.A. in Biblical Exegesis at Wheaton Graduate School, while teaching as an adjunct in the Department of Politics and International Relations.
