This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb_10:32. Φωτισθέντες ] after ye were illumined, i.e. after ye had recognised Christ as the Saviour of men, and ranked yourselves among His confessors. Comp. Heb_6:4.
ἄθλησιν ] a word of the later Greek style, in the N. T., however, a ἅπαξ λεγόμενον , combines with παθημάτων into a single idea: contest of sufferings. Chrysostom: οὐχ ἁπλῶς εἶπεν ἄθλησιν ὑπεμείνατε , ἀλλὰ μετὰ προσθήκης τοῦ πολλήν . Καὶ οὐκ εἶπε πειρασμούς , ἀλλὰ ἄθλησιν , ὅπερ ἐστὶν ἐγκωμίου ὄνομα καὶ ἐπαίνων μεγίστων .
ὑπομένειν ] to sustain, here with the subsidiary notion of stedfastness and unweariedness.
