This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

23. τὴν ὁμολογίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος. “The confession of our Hope.” Here we have the same trilogy of Christian graces as in St Paul—Faith (Heb 10:22), Hope (Heb 10:23), and Love (Heb 10:24).

ἀκλινῆ. “So that it do not bend.” It must be not only “secure” (Heb 3:6; Heb 3:14), but not even liable to be shaken.

πιστὸς γάρ. Heb 6:13, Heb 11:11, Heb 12:26. The writer felt the necessity of insisting upon this point, because the sufferings of the Hebrew converts, and the long delay (as it seemed to them) of Christ’s return, had shaken their constancy.
