Hebrews 10:39 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Of them who draw back. — Literally, But we are not of drawing (or shrinking) back unto perdition, but of faith unto the gaining of the soul. On the last words (which are nearly identical with those of Luke 17:33, though deeper in meaning) see the Note on Hebrews 10:34. The exhortation thus closes with words of encouragement and hope.
