Hebrews 6:12

Slothful [ν ω θ ρ ο ι]. See on ch. Hebrews 5:11. Or sluggish, as you will become if you lose hope.

Followers [μ ι μ η τ α ι]. Rend. imitators.

Faith and patience [π ι σ τ ε ω ς κ α ι μ α κ ρ ο θ υ μ ι α ς]. For patience rend. long - suffering, and see on James 5:7. Faith and long - suffering go together. Faith does not win its inheritance without persevering endurance; hence long - suffering is not only presented as an independent quality, but is predicated of faith.

Inherit [κ λ η ρ ο ν ο μ ο υ ν τ ω ν]. Notice the present participle, are inheriting. Their present faith and perseverance are now making for their final inheritance. Comp. Ephesians 1:14.
