Hebrews 10:35-36

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:32-39

32-39 Many and various afflictions united against the early Christians, and they had a great conflict. The Christian spirit is not a selfish spirit; it puts us upon pitying others, visiting them, helping them, and pleading for them. All things here are but shadows. The happiness of the saints in heaven will last for ever; enemies can never take it away as earthly goods. This will make rich amends for all we may lose and suffer here. The greatest part of the saints' happiness, as yet, is in... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-99

Hebrews 10 IN THE PASSAGE now before us both these contrasts reappear, but coupled with them is a third the supreme glory of Him who became the sacrifice, as contrasted with both priests and offerings of old. We see Him stepping out of eternity that He might accomplish the will of God in the work that He did. The passage starts with the reminder that the law with its shadow sacrifices could NEVER make the worshippers perfect. It ends with the glorious statement that the offering of Christ ... read more

IIIA speedy entrance into blessedness awaits those who endure to the end; of which the readers inspire a hope by the steadfastness which they have already evincedHebrews 10:32-3932But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight [struggle] of afflictions; 33Partly, whilst ye were made a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used [that so walked]. 34For ye had compassion... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 10:26-39

Beware of Backsliding Hebrews 10:26-39 The willful sin here referred to does not consist in isolated acts, but in a determined course of action, persisted in until the very desire for a better life wanes and dies out of the soul. These strong remonstrances were needed in those days of sore persecution. Three considerations are adduced, urging steadfastness: (1.) The certain punishment which must follow on the rejection of the greatest gifts that God can make, so much richer than anything... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

The writer now deals with the subject of the better worship. In this connection he again quotes from the prophecy of Jeremiah in order to emphasize the prediction of the new covenant concerning the forgiveness of sins. Through this offering and sacrifice of Christ, the worshipers are brought into a relationship with God in which there is no more consciousness of sin, but, instead, a delight to do God's will, and so is fulfilled the second part of Jeremiah's prediction., The provision made in... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:36

PATIENCE AND HOPE‘Ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.’ Hebrews 10:36 The hope of perfected Christian life should encourage us to steadfastness. The keynote of these words is hope. I. Christian life will end in wonderful blessing.—‘Promise,’ equivalent to ‘promised blessing.’ There is a promised blessing to be enjoyed after the will of God is done. The writer of the Epistle has already reminded them of the recompense in doing God’s... read more

A Call to His Readers So As To Ensure That They Will Not So Fail (Hebrews 10:32-39 ). He now reminds them of what they had suffered for Christ’s sake in the past, and the compassion that they had revealed for fellow-sufferers in those persecutions.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:35-36

‘Do not therefore cast not away your boldness, which has great recompense of reward, for you have need of patient endurance, that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.’ So he begs them not to be moved by the present uncertainties, Not to toss away their boldness as previously revealed in how they had faced persecution, because now counting it as worthless. For their bold service will bring them great recompense of reward. And in order to do the will of God, as Christ had... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:35-39

Hebrews 10:35-Malachi : . With the past in mind they are to maintain their former constancy, knowing that it will not be in vain. Their great need, as the whole epistle is meant to teach them, is the power of endurance, enabling them to wait on for the fulfilment of the promise given them by God ( Hebrews 10:35 f.). And the time of waiting will not be long. The day foretold in Scripture ( Habakkuk 2:3 f.) is close at hand, when the Coming One will appear, and those who have been faithful... read more
