Commentary on Hebrews 6:3

Theological / Devotional

Will we do. Important textual evidence may be cited (cf. p. 10) for the reading “let us do.” The author encourages his readers to go beyond (v. 1) the elementary principles of the gospel for the present, hoping and believing that they are well understood. He would leave these fundamentals in the sense that a child leaves his first A-B-C book when he progresses to his first reader. But in reality no child, nor the wisest scientist, will ever leave the alphabet behind. He will always use these 26 letters. So with these foundation principles; they are not discarded, they are built upon. The author would go on from primary to deeper truths.

If God permit. Compare on Acts 18:21; 1 Cor. 4:19; cf. 1 Cor. 16:7.
