For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
All Commentaries on Hebrews 3:14 Go To Hebrews 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Then he adds Hebrews 3:14, For we have been made partakers of Christ. What is this, We have been made partakers of Christ? We partake of Him (he means); we were made One, we and He— since He is the Head and we the body, fellow-heirs and of the same body; we are one body, of His flesh and of His bones. Ephesians 3:6; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 5:30
If we hold fast the beginning of our confidence [or, the principle of our subsistence ] steadfast unto the end. What is the principle of our subsistence? The faith by which we stand, and have been brought into being and were made to exist, as one may say.
