Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul.--A beautiful image, introduced for a moment only to set forth the security of the soul, though tossed by the waves of trouble. This symbol of hope, so familiar to us in Christian art, is not mentioned in the Old Testament, but is found in Greek proverbial sayings, and (it is said) appears on ancient coins.Both sure and stedfast.--These words and the following may, indeed, form part of the figure; but more probably relate to the hope itself--a hope unfailing, firm, which entereth where no human sight can follow, even into the Most Holy Place, into heaven itself. The hope becomes personified, that the reader's thought may be led to Him who is Himself our hope.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekWe haveἔχομεν (echomen)Verb - Present Indicative Active - 1st Person PluralStrong's 2192: To have, hold, possess.
