Consider (analogisasqe). First aorist middle imperative of analogizomai, old word to reckon up, to compare, to weigh, only here in the N.T. See katanohsate in Hebrews 3:1. Understanding Jesus is the key to the whole problem, the cure for doubt and hesitation.
Endured (upomemenhkota). Perfect active participle of the same verb upomenw used in verse Hebrews 12:2.
Gainsaying (antilogian). Old word from antilogov (from antilegw), already in Hebrews 6:16; Hebrews 7:7.
Of sinners (upo twn amartwlwn). "By sinners."
Against themselves (eiv eautouv). Against their better selves if a genuine reading. But eiv eauton (against himself), against Christ, is far more likely correct.
That ye wax not weary (ina mh kamhte). Negative final clause with ina mh and the second aorist active subjunctive of kamnw, old verb to be weary as here or sick as in James 5:15.
Fainting in your souls (taiv yuxaiv umwn ekluomenoi). Present passive participle of ekluw, old verb to loosen out, to set free, and in passive to be enfeebled, to be tired out (here in soul with locative case), as in verse Hebrews 12:5. The rest of the Epistle drives home the argument.
