This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 6:18. Δύο, two) The one the promise, the other the oath.-ἐν οἷς, in which) This refers to δύο, two.-ἰσχυρὰν, strong) So as that it may swallow up all strife (contradiction) arising from distrust. Βεβαίαν, firm, stedfast, follows, ver, 19. Both words are joined, ch. Heb 9:17. Ἰσχυρὸς implies that strength by which a man is able to inflict hard blows on his enemy: βέβαιος, that firmness by which he does not allow himself to be moved from the position which he occupies.-οἱ καταφυγόντες, who have fled for refuge) as from a shipwreck: ἄγκυραν, an anchor, follows.-προκειμένης) set before us. The same word occurs, ch. Heb 12:1-2.
