Hebrews 6:3 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

And this will we do, if God permit.— That is, "We will go on to teach those doctrines, with which a perfect Christian ought to be well acquainted;" this verse being in connection with the first clause of the first verse: and accordingly, the apostle goes on to represent Christianity in its highest beauty, usefulness, and glory. The next clause, if God permit, seems to have this force; "If God will give me an opportunity, and I am not prevented by your apostatizing from Christianity, before my epistle comes to our hands." When this verse is thus understood, the connection of it with the immediatelyfollowing verses is perfectlyclear, though otherwise very obscure; for by those verses he shews in whatcase he thought God would not permit him or give him an opportunity for this, or reason to expect success in his attempt.
