This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That ye be not sluggish (hina mē nōthroi genēsthe). Negative final clause with second aorist middle subjunctive of ginomai, “that ye become not sluggish (or dull of hearing)” as some already were (Heb 5:11).
Imitators (mimētai). See 1Th 1:6; 1Th 2:14 for this word (our “mimic” in good sense). The writer wishes to hold and develop these sluggards through those who inherit the promises (see 10:19-12:3), one of his great appeals later in ch. Heb 11 full of examples of “faith and long-suffering.”
