Where and how hypeikō is used in the New Testament
Hebrews 13:17 – “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”
My observations and perspective
As mentioned in a previous chapter dealing with Hebrews 13:17, the writer of Hebrews appears to be trying to persuade the readers to stop resisting the teaching of the New Covenant – that is, the finished work of Christ on their behalf – and to enter in to the rest (from their own works) that awaits them.
