This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Heb 6:12. Νωθροὶ, slothful) There follows presently after the antithesis, διὰ πίστεως, by faith, etc. They were νωθροὶ ταῖς ἀκοαῖς, dull of hearing, ch. Heb 5:11 : he now cautions them, not to become slothful absolutely, viz. also in mind.-διὰ πίστεως καὶ μακροθυμίας, through faith and patience) So Paul, 2Ti 3:10, and Jam 5:8. There is the patience or long-suffering of love, 1Co 13:4 : there is also the long-suffering of faith, Heb 6:15.-κληρονομούντων) The participle of the imperfect tense; comp. Heb 6:15 : for Abraham is referred to.-ἐπαγγελίας, promises) By this very word their confidence is roused; and ἐπαγγειλάμενος, having promised, presently follows.
