John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:1

Verse 1 1.Therefore we ought, etc. He now declares what he had before in view, by comparing Christ with angels, even to secure the highest authority to his doctrine. For if the Law given through angels could not have been received with contempt, and if its transgression was visited with severe punishment, what is to happen, he asks, to the despisers of that gospel, which has the Son of God as its author, and was confirmed by so many miracles? The import of the whole is this, that the higher the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:2

Verse 2 2.Steadfast, or “firm,” or sure, etc.; that is, it was the word of authority, for God required it to be believed; and that it was authoritative, was made more evident by its sanctions; for no one despised the law with impunity. Then firmness means authority; and what is added respecting punishment ought to be understood as explanatory; for it is evident the doctrine of which God shows himself to be the avenger, is by no means unprofitable or unimportant. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:3

Verse 3 3.If we neglect so great a salvation, etc. Not only the rejection of the Gospel, but also its neglect, deserves the heaviest punishment, and that on account of the greatness of the grace which it offers; hence he says, so great a salvation. God would indeed leave his gifts valued by us according to their worth. Then the more precious they are, the baser is our ingratitude when we do not value them. In a word, in proportion to the greatness of Christ will be the severity of God’s... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:4

Verse 4 4.God also bearing them witness, etc. In addition to the fact, that the Apostles had what they preached from the Son of God, the Lord also proved his approbation of their preaching by miracles, as by a solemn subscription. Then they who do not reverently receive the Gospel recommended by such testimonies, disregard not only the word of God, but also his works. He designates miracles, for the sake of amplifying their importance, by three names. They are called signs because they rouse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:1

On this account ( i.e. on account of what has been seen of the SON 'S superiority to the angels) we ought (or, we are bound ) more abundantly to give heed to the things that we have heard ( i.e. the gospel that has been preached to us in the Son), lest at any time (or, lest haply ) we let them slip (rather, float past them ) . The word παραρρυῶμεν (aorist subjunctive from παραρρέω ) denotes flowing or floating past anything. The allusion is to the danger,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:1-4

A solemn parenthetical warning. Out of solicitude for the spiritual well-being of his readers, the writer pauses here for a moment, to enforce upon them the necessity of' holding fast the New Testament salvation. He does so in words which are burning with urgency. I. THE DUTY . How prone men are to "neglect the great salvation" ( Hebrews 2:3 )! All classes of sinners do so—the blasphemer, the infidel, the self-righteous mart, the respectable worldling, the procrastinator.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:1-4

The superior privileges of Christians. "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to," etc. The "therefore" connects this chapter with the preceding. Because the Son of God is immeasurably greater than the angels, "we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard," etc. Our text presents to us a view of the superior privileges and the more solemn responsibilities of Christians as compared with those who lived in the earlier dispensation. We shall confine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:1-4

The more solemn responsibilities of Christians. "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed," etc. As a necessary sequel to our former homily on these verses, let us now consider— I. THAT THEY TO WHOM ARE OFFERED THE GREATER PRIVILEGES OF THIS CHRISTIAN DISPENSATION ARE UNDER GREATER OBLIGATIONS THAN THEY OF THE EARLIER DISPENSATION WERE . In human relations as well as in the Divine government this principle is generally... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:1-4

An exhortation against drifting away from the glorious Son of God. This passage is evidently a parenthesis, no link in the argument. Like the acknowledged Epistles of Paul, this is characterized by frequent sudden and brief departures from the general outline of thought. Like a river, the outline is clear from beginning to end, but here and there are small side channels into which the stream is swiftly, involuntarily drawn, to rejoin the mare current a little lower down. One of these we... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:1-4

The glory of the Gospel. I. HERE ARE TO BE SEEN THE SUPERIOR GLORY OF THE GOSPEL TO THE LAW IN THE PERSON OF ITS REVEALER . There are frequent proofs of the wisdom of God in the adaptations of means and ends both in the spheres of providence and the institutions of worship. When Jehovah published the Law from Sinai, the angels were mediators between himself and the tribes of Israel; as it is written in Deuteronomy 33:2 , "The Lord came from... read more
