(2.) An Ascription of Power unto this High Priest; He is able.
(3.) The end of that Power, or the effect of it; it is to save, which is farther described, 1. By the extent of it, it is unto the uttermost. (2.) The especial Object of it; Those that come to God by him.
4. The Reasons of the whole; which are, (1.) His perpetual life; (2.) His perpetual work. He ever liveth to make Intercession for them. The note of Inference [Greek or Hebrew], is frequently made use of by our Apostle in this Argumentative Discourse, as Chap. 2. 17. 3. 1. 8. 3. 9 18. 11. 19. and in this place, ideo, quapropter. 1Nor is it any where else in the New Testament used for the Introduction of a Conclusion or Inference from Premises in a way of Argument. And the causality which here it includes, may respect the whole foregoing Discourse; as asserting that which necessarily follows thereon. Or it may have respect only unto the ensuing clause in this verse; As if the Apostle had only intended in particular, that the Lord Christ is able to save to the uttermost, because he ever abideth. But he rather seems to make an Inference from the whole foregoing Discourse, and the close of the verse is only an addition of the way and manner, how the Lord Christ accomplisheth what is ascribed unto him by virtue of his Office. Being such an High Priest as we have evidenced to be, made by an Oath and abiding for ever, he is able to save.
