This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
We are made partakers of Christ (μέτοχοι γὰρ τοῦ Χριστοῦ γεγόναμεν)
Rend. we are become fellows with Christ. For fellows see Luk 5:7; Heb 1:9. It marks even a closer relation than “brethren.” See Luk 22:30; Rom 8:17; Rev 3:21.
Beginning of our confidence (τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως)
The believing confidence with which we began our Christian life. For ὑπόστασις confidence see on Heb 1:3. The Greek fathers render substance; that in virtue of which we are believers.
Unto the end (μέχρι τέλους)
Better, the consummation. It is more than mere termination. It is the point into which the whole life of faith finally gathers itself up. See Rom 6:21; 2Co 11:15; Phi 3:19; Heb 6:8; 1Pe 1:9.
