Charles Ellicott Commentary Hebrews 6:9

"But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:" — Hebrews 6:9 (ASV)

Better things.—Literally, the better things; that is, the alternative spoken of in Hebrews 6:7. He has not written in despair, but for warning only; believing that to them belongs, not the state which is “near to a curse,” but that which borders on salvation (Hebrews 5:9).
