23 Let us hold fast G2722 the profession G3671 of our faith G1680 without wavering; G186 (for G1063 he is faithful G4103 that promised;) G1861
23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:
23 may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful `is' He who did promise),
23 Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised;)
23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope unyieldingly. For he who promised is faithful.
23 Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Commentary on Hebrews 10 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 10
The apostle knew very well that the Hebrews, to whom he wrote, were strangely fond of the Levitical dispensation, and therefore he fills his mouth with arguments to wean them from it; and in order thereto proceeds in this chapter,
Hbr 10:1-6
Here the apostle, by the direction of the Spirit of God, sets himself to lay low the Levitical dispensation; for though it was of divine appointment, and very excellent and useful in its time and place, yet, when it was set up in competition with Christ, to whom it was only designed to lead the people, it was very proper and necessary to show the weakness and imperfection of it, which the apostle does effectually, from several arguments. As,
Hbr 10:7-18
Here the apostle raises up and exalts the Lord Jesus Christ, as high as he had laid the Levitical priesthood low. He recommends Christ to them as the true high priest, the true atoning sacrifice, the antitype of all the rest: and this he illustrates,
And now we have gone through the doctrinal part of the epistle, in which we have met with many things dark and difficult to be understood, which we must impute to the weakness and dulness of our own minds. The apostle now proceeds to apply this great doctrine, so as to influence their affections, and direct their practice, setting before them the dignities and duties of the gospel state.
Hbr 10:19-39
