A Better Estimate

9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.
10 For aGod is not unjust to forget byour work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have cministered to the saints, and do minister.  
11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence ato the full assurance of hope until the end,  
12 that you do not become1 sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience ainherit the promises.  

God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, aHe swore by Himself,  
14 saying, a“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”  
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the apromise.  
16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and aan oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.  
17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to athe heirs of promise bthe immutability of His counsel,2 confirmed it by an oath,  
18 that by two1 immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to alie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope bset before us.  
19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, aand which enters the Presence behind the veil,  
20 awhere the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, bhaving become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 6:10

God is not unrighteous - God is only bound to men by his own promise: this promise he is not obliged to make; but, when once made, his righteousness or justice requires him to keep it; therefore, whatever he has promised he will certainly perform. But he has promised to reward every good work and labor of love, and he will surely reward yours; God' s promise is God' s debt.

Every good work must spring from faith in the name, being, and goodness of God; and every work that is truly good must have love for its motive, as it has God for its end.

The word , labor, prefixed to love, is wanting in almost every MS. and version of importance. Griesbach has left it out of the text.

Ministered to the saints - Have contributed to the support and comfort of the poor Christians who were suffering persecution in Judea. As they had thus ministered, and were still ministering, they gave full proof that they had a common cause with the others; and this was one of the things that proved them to be in a state of salvation.
