This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 6:5. Γευσαμένους, who have tasted) A new taste, likewise involving more than the knowledge of the resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgment.-καλὸν ῥῆμα, the good word) Jer 33:14, את הדבר הטוב, the Gospel.-δυνάμεις, powers) of the most exquisite taste. The plural is highly significant. The same word occurs, ch. Heb 2:4; comp. Heb 11:34. Both passages show the emphasis of the word, δυνάμεις.-μέλλοντος αἰῶνος, of the world to come) Eternal glory is principally intended; comp. Heb 6:2, at the end; as the city to come is spoken of, ch. Heb 13:14; but the present time is not excluded under the New Testament, for in this sense things to come are also mentioned, ch. Heb 9:11, Heb 10:1, Heb 2:5, note.
