This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 13:5. Ὁ τρόπος) daily life.-ἀρκούμενοι) The participle for the imperative: just as the ellipsis (Heb 13:4), for the sake of politeness, of the verb, let-be, so there is a similar ellipsis of the verb, be ye (in this verse).-τοῖς παροῦσιν, with present things) the present state. So Paul, speaking of himself, Php 4:11.-αὐτός) He.-εἴρηκεν, has said) What was said to Jacob, to Joshua and the people, and to Solomon, extends also to us.-οὐ μή σε ἀνῶ οὐδʼ οὐ μή σε ἐγκαταλίπω) I will never leave thee nor forsake thee, Gen 28:15; the LXX. omit the first clause, and have only, I will not forsake thee; Deu 31:6, He will not fail (leave) thee nor forsake thee: so also Heb 13:8; Jos 1:5, I will not forsake thee nor overlook (ὑπερόψομαι) thee; 1Ch 28:20, He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. It is therefore like a Divine adage. He will neither withdraw His assistance nor His presence.
