Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Hebrews 6:16

And an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife [κ α ι π α σ η ς α υ τ ο ι ς α ν τ ι λ ο γ ι α ς π ε ρ α ς ε ι ς β ε β α ι ω ν ο ο ρ κ ο ς]. FOR "an oath," rend. "the oath" : generic. Const. for confirmation with end. "The oath is final for confirmation." Perav is the outermost point; the point beyond which one cannot go. With this exception always in N. T. in the plural, of the ends of the earth. See Matthew 12:42; Romans 10:18. So often in LXX jAntilogia, strictly contradiction, only in Hebrews and Jude 1:11, on which see note.
