Translation note· on the manuscripts

“Opposition”: the same word as “dispute” in 6:16 and 7:7. “Against themselves” is the reading of the base text; it can be understood that the sinners were harming themselves. Other manuscripts read “against himself” or “against him,” that is, against Jesus.

The context

2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
