This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Useth (μετέχων)
Rend. partakes of. See on Heb 1:9; see on Heb 2:14; see on Heb 3:1, Heb 3:14.
Unskilful (ἄπειρος)
N.T.o. Rend. unskilled or inexperienced.
In the word of righteousness (λόγου δικαιοσύνης)
The phrase N.T.o. The genitive δικαιοσύνης of righteousness is combined in N.T. with way, God, gift, instruments, servants, law, ministration, fruit and fruits, ministers, hope, breastplate, crown, king, preacher. It is a mistake to attempt to give the phrase here a concrete meaning. It signifies simply a word of normally right character. It is not = the Christian revelation, which would require the article. Probably, however, in the foreground of the writer's thought was the word spoken by the Son (Heb 1:2); the salvation which at first was spoken by the Lord (Heb 2:3).
A babe (νήπιος)
See on Rom 2:20; see on 1Co 3:1; see on Eph 4:14.
