A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
will we do--So some of the oldest manuscripts read; but others, "Let us do." "This," that is, "Go on unto perfection."

if God permit--For even in the case of good resolutions, we cannot carry them into effect, save through God "working in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure" (Phi 2:13). The "for" in Heb 6:4 refers to this: I say, if God permit, for there are cases where God does not permit, for example, "it is impossible," &c. Without God's blessing, the cultivation of the ground does not succeed (Heb 6:7).

7 For [1063] the earth [1093] which [3588] drinketh in [4095] the rain [5205] that cometh [2064] oft [4178] upon [1909] it [846], and [2532] bringeth forth [5088] herbs [1008] meet [2111] for them [1565] [2532] by [1223] whom [3739] it is dressed [1090], receiveth [3335] blessing [2129] from [575] God [2316]:
4 For [1063] it is impossible [102] for those who were once [530] enlightened [5461], and [5037] have tasted [1089] of the heavenly [2032] gift [1431], and [2532] were made [1096] partakers [3353] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151],
13 For [1063] it is [2076] God [2316] which [3588] worketh [1754] in [1722] you [5213] both [2532] to will [2309] and [2532] to do [1754] of [5228] his good pleasure [2107].
5 I [1473] am [1510] the vine [288], ye [5210] are the branches [2814]: He that abideth [3306] in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] him [846], the same [3778] bringeth forth [5342] much [4183] fruit [2590]: for [3754] without [5565] me [1700] ye can [1410] do [4160] nothing [3756] [3762].
13 Go to [33] now [3568], ye that say [3004], To day [4594] or [2532] to morrow [839] we will go [4198] into [1519] such [3592] a city [4172], and [2532] continue [4160] [4160] there [1563] a [1520] year [1763], and [2532] buy and sell [1710] [1710], and [2532] get gain [2770] [2770]:
14 Whereas [3748] ye know [1987] not [3756] what [3588] shall be on the morrow [839]. For [1063] what [4169] is your [5216] life [2222]? It is [2076] even [1063] a vapour [822], that [4314] appeareth for [5316] a little time [3641], and [1161] then [1899] vanisheth away [853].
15 For that [473] ye [5209] ought to say [3004], If [1437] the Lord [2962] will [2309], [2532] we shall live [2198] [2198], and [2532] do [4160] [4160] this [5124], or [2228] that [1565].
9 But [1161], beloved [27], we are persuaded [3982] better things [2909] of [4012] you [5216], and [2532] things that accompany [2192] salvation [4991], though [1499] we [2980] thus [3779] speak [2980].
10 For [1063] God [2316] is not [3756] unrighteous [94] to forget [1950] your [5216] work [2041] and [2532] labour [2873] of love [26], which [3739] ye have shewed [1731] [1731] toward [1519] his [846] name [3686], in that ye have ministered [1247] to the saints [40], and [2532] do minister [1247].
21 But [235] bade [657] them [846] farewell [657], saying [2036], I [3165] must [1163] by all means [3843] keep [4160] this feast [1859] that cometh [2064] in [1519] Jerusalem [2414]: but [1161] I will return [344] again [3825] unto [4314] you [5209], if God [2316] will [2309]. And [2532] he sailed [321] from [575] Ephesus [2181].
7 For [1063] I will [2309] not [3756] see [1492] you [5209] now [737] by [1722] the way [3938]; but [1161] I trust [1679] to tarry [1961] a while [5100] [5550] with [4314] you [5209], if [1437] the Lord [2962] permit [2010].
