Hebrews 10:12-19 NIV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:18

Now where remission of these is ,.... That is, of these sins; and that there is remission of them, is evident from this promise of the covenant, just now produced; from God's gracious proclamation of it; from the shedding of Christ's blood for it; from his exaltation at the Father's right hand to give it; from the Gospel declaration of it; and from the several instances of persons favoured with it: there is no more offering for sin ; there may be other offerings, as of praise and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19

Having therefore, brethren ,.... As they were to the apostle, in a natural and civil sense, being Hebrews, as well as in a spiritual relation, being believers in Christ; which is observed, to testify his affection to them, and to engage their regard to the duties hereafter urged, particularly brotherly love, and to signify their common and equal right to the privilege next mentioned, which is boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus : the place saints have boldness to... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:13

Till his enemies be made his footstool - Till all that oppose his high priesthood and sacrificial offering shall be defeated, routed, and confounded; and acknowledge, in their punishment, the supremacy of his power as universal and eternal King, who refused to receive him as their atoning and sanctifying Priest. There is also an oblique reference here to the destruction of the Jews, which was then at hand; for Christ was about to take away the second with an overwhelming flood of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:14

For by one offering - His death upon the cross. He hath perfected for ever - He has procured remission of sins and holiness; fur it is well observed here, and in several parts of this epistle, that τελειοω , to make perfect, is the same as αφεσιν ἁμαρτιων ποιεω , to procure remission of sins. Them that are sanctified - Τους ἁγιαζομενους· Them that have received the sprinkling of the blood of this offering. These, therefore, receiving redemption through that blood, have no... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:15

The Holy Ghost - is a witness to us - The words are quoted from Jeremiah 31:33 , Jeremiah 31:34 , and here we are assured that Jeremiah spoke by the inspiration of the Spirit of God. Had said before - See Hebrews 8:10 , Hebrews 8:12 , and the notes there. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:18

Now where remission of these is - In any case, where sin is once pardoned, there is no farther need of a sin-offering; but every believer on Christ has his sin blotted out, and therefore needs no other offering for that sin. "If," says Dr. Macknight, "after remission is granted to the sinner, there is no need of any more sacrifice for sin; and if Christ, by offering himself once, has perfected for ever the sanctified, Hebrews 10:14 , the sacrifice of the mass, as it is called, about... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:19

Having therefore, brethren, boldness - The apostle, having now finished the doctrinal part of his epistle, and fully shown the superiority of Christ to all men and angels, and the superiority of his priesthood to that of Aaron and his successors, the absolute inefficacy of the Jewish sacrifices to make atonement for sin, and the absolute efficacy of that of Christ to make reconciliation of man to God, proceeds now to show what influence these doctrines should have on the hearts and lives of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:15

Verse 15 15.The Holy Ghost also is a witness, etc. (168) This testimony from Jeremiah is not adduced the second time without reason or superfluously. He quoted it before for a different purpose, even to show that it was necessary for the Old Testament to be abrogated, because another, a new one, had been promised, and for this end, to amend the weakness of the old. (169) But he has now another thing in view; for he takes his stand on these words alone, Their iniquities will I remember no more;... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:19

Verse 19 19.Having therefore, brethren, etc. He states the conclusion or the sum of his previous doctrine, to which he then fitly subjoins a serious exhortation, and denounces a severe threatening on those who had renounced the grace of Christ. Now, the sum of what he had said is, that all the ceremonies by which an access under the Law was open to the sanctuary, have their real fulfillment in Christ, so that to him who has Christ, the use of them is superfluous and useless To set this forth... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-18

Close of the argument. This concluding passage presents little more than a re-statement of some points which have been already marked in the discussion which occupies the three preceding chapters. The kernel-thought of the paragraph is expressed in Hebrews 10:9 : "He taketh away the first" (the Jewish sacrifices), "that he may establish the second" (redemption by the sacrifice of himself). I. THE INHERENT WORTHLESSNESS OF THE LEVITICAL SACRIFICES , ( Hebrews 10:1-4 )... read more
