Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:35

Cast not away therefore your confidence: this introduceth the last direction for helping on their perseverance in Christianity. Μη αποβαλλητε denieth all degrees of apostacy, from secret undervaluing to an utter renouncing, not to slight, despise, or reject; they had endured already so much as might steel and fortify them against what remained, and implieth the bold, resolute, and courageous retention, Ephesians 6:10,Ephesians 6:16, of the boldness of their confession of the Christian faith. It... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:36

For ye have need of patience: for shows this to be an enforcement of the former direction: Cast not away your confidence, for you have need of grace, which that must maintain in order to carry back your reward. It is therefore absolutely necessary, as well as useful to you, for the bearing of your burdens, persevering in all duty, and waiting for your reward, notwithstanding your reproaches, afflictions, and fiery trials, that you preserve your confidence in maintaining this patience, Hebrews... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 10:32-39

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 10:32. Illuminated.—Enlightened, by the preaching of the Christian truth. (Compare 2 Corinthians 4:6; 1 Peter 2:9.) At a later period the word φωτισθέντες became a synonym for “to baptise.”Hebrews 10:33. Gazing-stock.—Lit. “as one set on a theatrical stage.”Hebrews 10:34. In heaven.—An incorrect reading. R.V. has, “knowing that ye yourselves have a better possession and an abiding one.” Moulton thinks the translation should be, “perceiving that ye have your... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:26-39

Hebrews 10:26-39 Warning against Apostasy. I. Note briefly some misconceptions which prevent some readers of Scripture from receiving in a meek and docile spirit solemn admonitions of the Holy Ghost, such as the present. (1) There is an undue and one-sided haste to be happy and in the enjoyment of comfort. (2) There is a one-sided and unscriptural forgetfulness of the true position of the believer, as a man who is still on the road, in the battle; who has still the responsibility of trading... read more

DISCOURSE: 2315PATIENT FORTITUDE REQUIREDHebrews 10:35-36. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.THERE have been, to the Church of Christ, seasons of bitter persecution, and seasons of comparative tolerance and peace: but in whichever of these states we be, it becomes us not to yield to dejection on the one hand, or undue security on the other. We are... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-39

Chapter 10For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very substance of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect ( Hebrews 10:1 ).Now notice the law was only a shadow of the good things to come. The value of the studying of Leviticus and the studying of the law, to the Christian, is that it foreshadows the work of Jesus Christ, the offering of Jesus Christ, and the high priestly nature of Jesus... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:1-39

Hebrews 10:1 . The law having a shadow of good things to come. St. Paul, ere his epistles were engrossed, weighed his words, adjusted his thoughts, collated them with the prophets, and knew the support he had from rabbinical theology. The law was a shadow indeed, but a very imperfect shadow of the Messiah, and the glory of his kingdom. Some call it a rough draught of better things. By the law we understand the whole of the ancient economy, which was a shadow of future realities; and... read more

Hebrews 10:35Cast not away, therefore, your confidenceSpiritual confidenceI.WHAT THIS SPIRITUAL CONFIDENCE IS. 1. Confidence in Christ. (1) In His inherent goodness. (2) In His power and will to save. 2. Confidence in the riches which Christ will give. II. SPIRITUAL CONFIDENCE IS TO BE FIRMLY HELD. For the better understanding of this, it is well to bear in mind the difference there is between confidence and faith. They are much the same in their exercise; still they are different. Confidence... read more

Hebrews 10:36Ye have need of patienceThe need of patience in an over-active ageAmongst the many ominous characteristics of our age, there is hardly one which stands out so glaringly and alarmingly as the growing want of quietly enduring patience.In various forms this spirit penetrates the Christian world, and tends to bring into it a certain feverishness, haste, and restlessness. I. How PATIENCE IS TO BE HELD FAST. Patience is composed of confidence, hope, and belief in future perfect... read more
