VERSE 12.
[Greek or Hebrew].
〈non-Latin alphabet〉.
[Greek or Hebrew] segnes, slothful, dull; [Greek or Hebrew], sitis, efficiamini, be or become, or be made. Syr. [Greek or Hebrew] ut non praecidatur, ut non abscindatur; that it be not cut off; which Interpreters refer unto the diligence before mentioned. The Translation in the Polyglot renders it, neque torpescatis, as following the Translation in the Jayan Bibles without choice or alteration. Indeed [Greek or Hebrew] is used sometimes in the same sense with [Greek or Hebrew] to be weary, to loath; to be affected with trouble, Hab. 2. 3. whence sloth and neglect of diligence ensues. But its proper and usual signification is to cut off; the same with the Hebrew [Greek or Hebrew], That you be not slothful. [Greek or Hebrew]; imitators; and so the Rhemists render it, imitators; which being a word not much in use among us, and when it is used commonly taken in an ill sense, Followers doth better as yet with us express what is intended. Who by Faith, [Greek or Hebrew]; Sir. [Greek or Hebrew] in length of Spirit; Longanimitatem, patientiam, patientem animum, lenitatem. Longanimity, Patience, a patient mind, forbearance; It is plain that the same Grace is intended in all these various expressions, whose nature we shall enquire into, [Greek or Hebrew]. Sir. [Greek or Hebrew] fuerunt Haeredes Promissionis; were Heirs of the Promise; referring it to Believers under the Old Testament. Vul. Lat. Haereditahunt Promissiones, who shall inherit the Promises, which must respect present, sincere, persevering Believers. Beza, Haereditario jure obtinent Promissionem. Others, Obtinent promissam Haereditatem; and, Haereditatem accipiunt promissionis, which Schmidius chooseth as most exact, though without reason. That of Beza is proper, for [Greek or Hebrew], is, jure Haereditario obtinere; see our Exposition on chap. 1. 4. We, inherit the Promises.
