In Hebrews 3:14, the conjunction introduces the condition attached to holding the beginning of confidence firm to the end; the APB renders the clause "if indeed we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end." In Hebrews 6:3, it introduces the condition of God's permission for the action proposed; the APB renders "if indeed God permits."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the conjunction with "if indeed" in both cited clauses. This consistently reflects the clauses' conditional framing rather than isolating each word mechanically.
