Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 12:14

Follow peace with all men - Do not give indulgence to those passions which lead to litigations, strifes, wars; see the notes on Romans 14:19. The connection here requires us to understand this mainly of persecutors. The apostle is referring to the trials which those whom he addressed were experiencing. Those trials seem to have arisen mainly from persecution, and he exhorts them to manifest a spirit of kindness toward all - even though they were engaged in persecuting them. This is the temper... read more

Hebrews 12:12-14 . Wherefore Since afflictions are so beneficial; lift up the hands Whether your own or your brethren’s; which hang down Unable to continue the combat; shake off discouragement, sloth, and indolence, and exert yourselves in your spiritual warfare, and in the performance of your duty; and strengthen, by faith and prayer, the feeble knees Unable to continue the race. And make straight paths for your own feet And for those of others; remove every hinderance, every... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:12-17

Endurance without bitterness (12:12-17)Christians must not allow life’s trials to discourage them, but meet their difficulties with boldness and confidence (12-13). One way to help prevent people from turning away from Christ is to develop holiness among believers and to deal with those who show signs of bitterness. Such people can quickly have a bad influence on others (14-15). The story of Esau illustrates the hopelessness of the person who deliberately rejects God’s promised inheritance for... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 12:14

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord.Follow after is translated "pursue" by some and carries with it the idea of diligence and urgency, "peace" being personified here and designated as the quarry which people are to pursue.Peace with all men is the objective of Christians at all times and places. Jesus gave his blessing to the peacemakers (Matthew 5:9), and Paul commanded believers to be at peace with all men, "if it be possible"... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 12:14

Hebrews 12:14.— The sacred writer now proceeds to exhort the Hebrew Christians to the exerciseofuniversalpeacewith believing Gentiles, as well as with the believing Jews, and to the practice of holiness, that so they might not fail of that glorious reward which was purchased and provided for them by the atonement of the blood of the covenant. He sets home this exhortation, by observing, that they were not now called to the profession and privileges of Judaism, but of Christianity; and that... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 12:14

14. follow peace with all men—with the brethren especially ( :-), that so the "lame" among them be not "turned out of the way" (Hebrews 12:13), and that no one of them "fail of the grace of God" (Hebrews 12:13- :). holiness—a distinct Greek word from God's "holiness" (Hebrews 12:13- :). Translate here "sanctification." His is absolute holiness: our part is to put on His holiness, becoming "holy as He is holy," by sanctification. While "following peace with all men," we are not so to seek to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 12:14

We need to live peaceably with all people as much as we can (cf. Matthew 5:9; Mark 9:50; Romans 12:18; Romans 14:19) because peaceful interpersonal relationships foster godliness (James 3:18). However this writer’s emphasis was more on the objective reality that results from Christ’s death than on our subjective enjoyment of peace. Since we will one day see the Lord, and since no sin can abide in His presence (1 John 3:2), we must pursue holiness in our lives now. A better translation than... read more

1. The goal of peace 12:14-17These verses summarize what the writer said previously about irrevocable loss through disobedience, unbelief, apostasy, and contempt for New Covenant privileges (cf. Hebrews 6:4-8). The fearful warning about Esau brings these earlier warnings to an awesome head. read more

V. LIFE IN A HOSTILE WORLD 12:14-13:25This final major section of the book perhaps grew out of the writer’s reflection on the Greek text of Proverbs 4:26-27. He specified how his readers could "make straight paths for your feet" (Hebrews 12:13)."In the final division of the homily the writer provides the members of the house church with a fresh orientation for life as Christians in a hostile society. The new people of God are engaged in pilgrimage to the city of God. This world is not their... read more
