Hebrews 10:23 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Profession [ homologian (G3671 ) 'confession '] our faith х tees (G3588) elpidos (G1680)] 'OUR Profession, [ homologian (G3671 ), 'confession,'] our faith, х tees (G3588) elpidos (G1680)] - 'OUR HOPE;' which is indeed faith exercised as to the future inheritance, Hope rests on faith; at the same time quickens faith, and is the ground of bold confession (1 Peter 3:15). Hope is similarly (Hebrews 10:22) connected with purification (1 John 3:3). (See Hebrews 3:6; Hebrews 3:14; Hebrews 4:14.)

Without wavering - without declension "stedfast unto the end."

He - God is faithful to His promises (Hebrews 6:17-18; Hebrews 11:11; Hebrews 12:26; Hebrews 12:28; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 2 Thessalonians 3:3: also Christ's promise, John 12:26), but man is often unfaithful to his duties.
