Commentary

(Heb 3:6, Heb 3:14; Heb 4:14.) profession--Greek, "confession." our faith--rather as Greek, "our hope"; which is indeed faith exercised as to the future inheritance. Hope rests on faith, and at the same time quickens faith, and is the ground of our bold confession (Pe1 3:15). Hope is similarly (Heb 10:22) connected with purification (Jo1 3:3). without wavering--without declension (Heb 3:14), "steadfast unto the end." he--God is faithful to His promises (Heb 6:17-18; Heb 11:11; Heb 12:26, Heb 12:28; Co1 1:9; Co1 10:13; Th1 5:24; Th2 3:3; see also Christ's promise, Joh 12:26); but man is too often unfaithful to his duties.
