Exegesis
The negation ouk {οὐκ | ouk} precedes the verb esmen {ἐσμὲν | es-mèn} “we are,” denying membership in the class defined by hypostolēs {ὑποστολῆς | hypo-stolḗs} “shrinking back.”
In context — Hebrews 10:39
But we are not of shrinking back into destruction, but of faith to the preserving of the soul .
