(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Slothful (νωθροὶ)

See on Heb 5:11. Or sluggish, as you will become if you lose hope.

Followers (μιμηταὶ)

Rend. imitators.

Faith and patience (πίστεως καὶ μακροθυμίας)

For patience rend. long-suffering, and see on Jam 5:7. Faith and long-suffering go together. Faith does not win its inheritance without persevering endurance; hence long-suffering is not only presented as an independent quality, but is predicated of faith.

Inherit (κληρονομούντων)

Notice the present participle, are inheriting. Their present faith and perseverance are now making for their final inheritance. Comp. Eph 1:14.
