And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

And, [ De (G1161)] - 'But.'

Desire, [ epithumoumen (G1937)] - 'earnestly desire.' The language of fatherly affection, rather than command.

Every one of you - implying that all had not shown the same diligence as some of those whom he praises in Hebrews 6:10. 'He cares alike for great and small, and overlooks none' (Chrysostom). 'Every one of them,' even those diligent in showing LOVE (Hebrews 6:10), needed exhortation to show the same diligence, with a view to the full assurance of HOPE unto the end. They needed, besides love, patient perseverance, resting on hope and faith (Hebrews 10:36; Hebrews 13:7). Compare the "full assurance of faith" (Hebrews 10:22; Romans 4:21; 1 Thessalonians 1:5).

Unto the end - the coming of Christ.
