 the Epistle never confounds the "sanctified" with mere Jews or all mankind. It is carefully those that are set apart by the Sanctifier, even Jesus, the test of God for man. (Hebrews 3:1-6 by W. Kelly)
 It is the believers who constitute this house (Hebrews 3:1-6 by W. Kelly)
 The real danger against which the Hebrew confessors are warned is giving up that confidence and boast. They are urged to hold it fast. This is the reverse of cautioning them against such confidence. The Christian dishonors the Lord by not cherishing true confidence and abounding hope (Hebrews 3:1-6 by W. Kelly)
 Christ is over God’s house; but it is not as a servant but as a Son. He has built the house. He is God. (Hebrews 3 by J.N. Darby)
 Thus the introduction of the people of God as forming the House of God shows the sphere in which Christ exercises His priesthood. (The High Priest of Our Profession: Hebrews 3:1-6 by H. Smith)
 “If we hold fast  .  .  .  unto the end.” Those who have not faith cannot stand the testing “ifs” (ch. 2:3; 3:12; 6:11-12). (Help on Hard Verses by A.C. Brown)

but Christ, as Son over hise house, whose house are *we*, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

JND Translation Notes

e
That is, God's house, in which Moses was faithful as a ministering servant. The contrast is with "Moses as a servant in," and "Christ as a Son over." The Father is not brought in as such at all, but the Son is over the house as Son. The connection with its being God's house is evident, because he (Christ) has built the house, ver. 3, and he who built all things is God; but he is over it as Son.

W. Kelly Translation

6
but Christ as Sona over his house, whose house are we if indeed we hold fast the boldnessb and the boast of the hope firm unto the end.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Surely it is "Christ as Son over His house," not "a Son."
b
There is no ground to say "our," but "the" boldness and the boast (kauchēma), rather than boasting and glorying (kauchēsis).
