This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb_13:14. Ground of encouragement to the φέρειν τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ , Heb_13:13.
ἔχομεν ] namely: we Christians. Not: we men in general.
ὧδε ] here upon earth. Erroneously Heinrichs: in the earthly Jerusalem.
τὴν μέλλουσαν ] sc. πόλιν : the city to come, which, namely, is an abiding one. Comp. Heb_12:22 : Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπουράνιος , and Heb_11:10 : ἡ τοὺς θεμελίους ἔχουσα πόλις , ἧς τεχνίτης καὶ δημιουργὸς ὁ Θεός . Rightly, for the rest, does Schlichting observe: Futuram autem civitatem hanc vocat, quia nobis futura est. Nam Deo, Christo, angelis jam praesens est.
