This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

And an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife (καὶ πἁσης αὐτοῖς ἀντιλογίασπέρας εἰς βεβαίων ὁ ὅρκος)

For “an oath,” rend. “the oath”: generic. Const. for confirmation with end. “The oath is final for confirmation.” Πέρας is the outermost point; the point beyond which one cannot go. With this exception always in N.T. in the plural, of the ends of the earth. See Mat 12:42; Rom 10:18. So often in lxx. Ἀντιλογία, strictly contradiction, only in Hebrews and Jud 1:11, on which see note.
