“But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”
But Christ is faithful as the Son over his father's house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory — the contrast reaches its apex: Christ is not a servant but a son, not in the house but over it. The conditional clause establishes that the readers' status as Christ's household depends on their perseverance in confidence and boast.
