  • Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 6
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 6:9

      beloved ones, we are convinced of better things: Earlier in this letter, Paul gave strong counsel to those who had grown weak in their faith. (Heb 3:12; 5:11 and study note) In this context, he has denounced those who had proved unfaithful. (Heb 6:4-8) Now he shifts to a reassuring tone and addresses the Hebrew Christians as “beloved ones.” He then expresses strong confidence in them. (Compare Ro 15:14; 2Th 3:4.) Unlike those who forsook the Christ and lost out on their hope for the future, the faithful Hebrew Christians have “better things” ahead of them​—things related to salvation. These things would include ruling with Christ in heaven.​—See study note on 2Ti 2:12.
