Hebrews 6:10,11 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For God is not unrighteous, &c.— "I just now mentioned my hopes of your complete salvation; and I have reason to entertain such hopes, as well knowing the pious and benevolent dispositions, which many of you have expressed. For God is not unmindful of his gracious promises, so as to forget your diligent work and labour in his service, animated by a principle of unfeigned love, which you have manifested, not only to your brethren, but to his name also, in having ministered, and in still ministering, as his providence gives you opportunity, to the necessities of the saints. And we heartily wish that this temper were as universal, as it is commendable where it prevails; so that every one of you, into whose hands this epistle may come, might shew the same diligence, and exert the same studious care, in order to establish the full assurance of your hope, even to the end of your Christian course; by which hope you must still be supported, while in this world." The word πληροφορια, rendered full assurance, whatever it is applied to, whether it be faith, hope, or understanding, implies such a fulness, asleads a man to act readily and determinately upon it. See ch. 2 Chronicles 2:2. Col 2:2. 1 Thessalonians 1:5.

11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
