rwp@Hebrews:6:12 @{That ye be not sluggish} (\hina m nthroi gensthe\). Negative final clause with second aorist middle subjunctive of \ginomai\, "that ye become not sluggish (or dull of hearing)" as some already were (5:11|). {Imitators} (\mimtai\). See kjv@1Thessalonians:1:6; 2:14| for this word (our "mimic" in good sense). The writer wishes to hold and develop these sluggards through those who inherit the promises (see 10:19-12:3|), one of his great appeals later in ch. kjv@Hebrews:11| full of examples of "faith and long-suffering."
