• That we renounce all other dependence save Christ as our Lord and Savior is the faith that saves the soul...Others cannot see this, but they may and ought to see in the Christian the fruits of the Spirit; as here the apostle after so solemnly admonishing, could cheer the saints by the "better things" he was persuaded concerning them. (“Hebrews 6:9-12” by W. Kelly)
• The Apostle does not, however, apply what he says to the Hebrew Christians: for, however low their state might be, there had been fruits, proofs of life, which in itself no mere power is; and he continues his discourse by giving them encouragement, and motives for perseverance. (“Hebrews 6” by J.N. Darby)
• The things that accompany salvation are things which give evidence of divine life in the soul. They are “love,” and “hope,” and “faith.” (“Comfort and Encouragement: Hebrews 6:9-20” by H. Smith)

"Next" is a frequent sense of the term echomena here employed. Here it is modified by the context, as often in ordinary Greek, and means not "following," but "pertaining to" or "connected with" salvation.
