And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Ver. 11. Do show the same diligence] A man may as truly say the sea burns, or fire cools, as that certainty of salvation breeds security and looseness.
To the full assurance] All duties tend to assurance, or spring from it. Strive we must to the riches of full assurance, Colossians 2:2. But in case our assurance be not so fair, yield not to temptations and carnal reasonings. Coins that have little of the stamp left, yet are current.
