SCRIPTURE

"And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:" — Hebrews 6:11 (ASV)

And we desire (επιθυμουμεν δε). Literary plural again like πεπεισμεθα (6:9). He is not wholly satisfied with them as he had already shown (5:11-14). They have not given up Christ (6:4-8), but many of them are still babes (νηπιο, 5:13) and not adults (τελειο, 5:14) and others are in peril of becoming so.

Unto the fulness of hope (προς την πληροφοριαν της ελπιδος). For πληροφορια see 1 Thessalonians 1:5; Colossians 2:2.

To the end (αχρ τελους). As in 3:6,14.
