Hebrews 10:35

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:35

Cast not away therefore your confidence - Greek “your boldness;” referring to their confident hope in God. They were not to cast this away, and to become timid, disheartened, and discouraged. They were to bear up manfully under all their trials, and to maintain a steadfast adherence to God and to his cause. The command is not to “cast this away.” Nothing could take it from them if they trusted in God, and it could be lost only by their own neglect or imprudence. Rosenmuller supposes (Alte und... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:35-37

Hebrews 10:35-37. Therefore, having formerly behaved with such fortitude, cast not away your confidence As cowardly soldiers cast away their shields, and flee in the day of battle; but since God has supported you under, and brought you through all your sufferings hitherto, with much patience and joy maintain and improve your confidence and courage against all difficulties and dangers; which hath That is, will receive; great recompense of reward That is, a great reward, (namely,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:26-39

Warning against turning back (10:26-39)Those who are tempted to go back to Judaism are reminded that apart from Christ’s work there is no way of salvation. If they reject him, they can expect only judgment (26-27). Even under the old covenant rebellion met with death. How much worse will be the punishment of those who have experienced the grace of God through Christ, yet deliberately reject and disown it (28-31).The writer encourages his readers not to forsake Christ, by reminding them of what... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:35

Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.Yet another reference is here to that "boldness" so strongly advocated throughout this epistle. (See under Hebrews 3:6,13.) Christians are repeatedly commanded to maintain by the most vigorous affirmation of it at all times that boldness which they must exhibit under all circumstances, exhorting themselves by constant reference to it, continual glorying in it, and regularly persuading others, especially intimate... read more

Hebrews 10:35. Cast not away therefore your confidence,— "Do not cast away, on the contrary, hold fast that liberty, that freedom of access (παρρησιαν ), which is granted you to enter into the holy of holies." See ch. Heb 3:6 and Heb 10:19 of this chapter. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:11-39

III. THE HIGH PRIESTLY OFFICE OF THE SON 5:11-10:39The transition from exposition (Hebrews 4:15 to Hebrews 5:10) to exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20) marks the beginning of a new division in this sermon. The structure of this division is as follows. [Note: Ibid., p. 128.] a Preliminary exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20)A The priest who is like Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-28)B The single, personal sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 8:1 to Hebrews 9:28)C The achievement of eternal... read more

D. The Danger of Willful Sinning (The Fourth Warning) 10:19-39From this point on in the epistle the writer made application from the great truths concerning Jesus Christ that he had now finished explaining. He followed his exposition of Jesus Christ’s superior high priestly ministry (Hebrews 6:13 to Hebrews 10:18) with exhortation, another stern warning against apostatizing, and an encouragement to remain faithful to the Lord (Hebrews 10:19-39). (Even though chapter 11 is primarily exposition,... read more

3. The encouragement to persevere 10:32-39The writer concluded his warning by reminding his readers of their former faithfulness when tempted to encourage them to endure their present and future tests (cf. Hebrews 4:12-16; Hebrews 6:9-20)."The juxtaposition of Hebrews 10:26-35 suggests that it may have been the experience of suffering, abuse, and loss in the world that motivated the desertion of the community acknowledged in Hebrews 10:25 and a general tendency to avoid contact with outsiders... read more
