Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:1

1. Therefore In view of their humble attainments portrayed in Hebrews 5:11-14. The principles Literally, the beginning of Christ; equivalent to first principles in Hebrews 5:12. Let us go on In the word us St. Paul identifies himself with his Hebrews, and moves for a common advance. See note on Hebrews 2:1. But, does he mean go on in this his present discourse; or go on in acquiring new accessions of Christian knowledge in addition to these first principles; or go on in... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:2

2. Of Foundation is understood before this of. The doctrine, or teaching, is understood before each of the four of s in the verse. Baptisms Washings. The Greek word for Christian baptism is baptisma, this word is baptismos, and genetically includes all ritual lustrations, baptism included. The plural here is used, not, as some think, to indicate trine immersion, (which was not a New Testament practice;) nor to include the baptism of water and of the Spirit; nor to imply the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:3

3. And this The going on to perfection. Will we do There is considerable authority for the reading, this let us do. If God permit But why this if? Would not God, of course, permit so good a thing? Alford approves the interpretation that our apostle means here to imply that our so doing is not in our own power, but must be wrought in us by God. But for that meaning a mere permit would not be the true word, but grant grace, or empower. Delitzsch thinks that the implication is,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:4

4. For What is the connexion? Does it mean we will press on, for to stand still will produce apostasy, and apostasy is irrecoverable? One would suppose that so essential an intermediate thought as this that standing still begets apostasy would have been expressed. Yet this seems to be the only alternative, unless we admit that an apostatizing resumption of Judaism is expressed in the re-laying of the foundation, as noted on Hebrews 6:1. This much-debated passage, being the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:5

5. The last couplet connecting the word and the powers. Tasted Implying again the rich enjoyment; and here without the of, because this now grown Christian may taste and enjoy not a part but the whole good word. Excellent is Whitby’s note on this good word: “So the promise of bringing the children of Israel into the land of Canaan is styled הדבד הדם , ρημα καλον , a good word, [English unliteral translation “thing,”] Joshua 21:45; Joshua 23:15. The word of God for bringing his... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:6

6. If they shall fall away A sad mistranslation. There is no if in the original, and no future tense, and no contingent supposition. It is the “historic tense,” and describes a fall that has already taken place, as our translation above indicates. Fall away Of course they could not fall if they did not once stand. And that stand was a state of salvation in which, did they stand and not fall, they would have been safe. “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” ... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:7

7. The contrast between the persevering soul and the apostate is now pictured by two opposite soils. Which drinketh Past tense, drank, as bringeth forth is present. The present fertility springs up from the past watering. Drinketh recognises the live character of the soil as figuring a living soul, a soul that drinketh in the water of life. Cometh oft For often does the refreshing shower come upon the soul that readily drinketh it in. Herbs Grass, corn, or any grain for man... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:8

8. Beareth thorns Now, whatever it once bore. Rejected Reprobate; the word again doubly applicable to soil and soul; reprobate, not by an eternal previous decree, but in consequence of its perverse products. Nigh unto cursing Not sure of being restored again because it was once fertile. In both the blessing and cursing there seems allusion to the opposite terms in Genesis, Genesis 1:12, contrasting our primeval earth before and after the fall; “God saw that it was good;” and... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:9

9. But Passing to commendation and encouragement. At this point commences a gradual return, and, we might say, cheering ascent to Melchizedek, (Hebrews 6:20,) from whom we abruptly parted at Hebrews 5:10. You is here emphatic. Though there is a class of apostates, (as Hebrews 6:4-8,) you are not embraced within it. Better things Rather, the better of the two things contrasted in Hebrews 6:7-8; namely, the perseverers and the apostates. Thus speak In terms of almost contempt, in... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 6:10

10. For Grounds of this favourable hope. You have in some points done so well that God will afford you abundant enabling grace to persevere, if you use it. Unrighteous The word must not, with Stuart, be softened to unkind. God holds himself righteously bound to grant more grace for grace well used. The man who does a measure of sincere duty may lay hold of God’s righteousness as pledged to aid him, in accordance and without measure. And the writer goes on to show that God is pledged by... read more
