Hebrews 11:25-26 NIV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:25

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God - With those whom God had chosen to he his people - the Israelites. They were then oppressed and down-trodden; but they were the descendants of Abraham, and were those whom God had designed to be his special people. Moses saw that if he cast in his lot with them, he must expect trials. They were poor, and crushed, and despised - a nation of slaves. If he identified himself with them, his condition would be like theirs - one of great... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:26

Esteeming the reproach of Christ - Margin, “For;” that is, on account of Christ. This means either that he was willing to bear the reproaches incident to his belief that the Messiah would come, and that he gave up his fair prospects in Egypt with that expectation; or that he endured such reproaches as Christ suffered; or the apostle uses the expression as a sort of technical phrase, well understood in his time, to denote sufferings endured in the cause of religion. Christians at that time would... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 11:24-26

Hebrews 11:24-26. By faith Moses None in the old world was more signalized by Providence in his birth, education, and actions, than Moses; hence his renown was both then and ever after very great; when he was come to years Μεγας γενομενος , when he became great; Syriac, when he was a man. The word may respect either state and condition, or time of life and stature. To become great, is in Scripture and common speech, to become so in wealth, honour, or power, and so Moses was become... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 11:23-40

More examples of true faith (11:23-40)Moses’ parents had faith to believe that God had chosen their child for a great purpose. Acting on this faith, they risked their own lives to preserve the life of the child (23; cf. Exodus 1:22; Exodus 2:1-2). As Moses grew to adulthood, he too exercised faith, in spite of the sacrifice, hardship and danger that it brought. He endured because he was confident of the future reward and he trusted in the unseen God (24-27; cf. Exodus 2:10-15).Through faith the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 11:25

Choosing rather to share treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.With the people of God ... Ah, there is another secret of Moses' choice. God was not with the idolatrous Egyptians; and, although Moses might indeed have indulged himself with all the luxury, vice, and tinsel glory of such an association, he believed the promises of God with reference to the covenant with Abraham and that promised "seed" in whom all nations would be blessed. When the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 11:26

Accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.The reproach of Christ is variously understood by commentators, some believing that: (1) it is the same kind of reproach that Christ suffered; (2) it is the reproach suffered for one's faith in Christ; (3) it is the reproach that fell on Moses as the type of Christ; or (4) it is the reproach that Christ had to bear in his own person and also in the person of every believer... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 11:25

Hebrews 11:25. Choosing rather to suffer affliction— Three months after Moses was born, he was exposed in a bed of bulrushes on the river Nile. Pharaoh's daughter coming by, and guessing it to be one of the Hebrew children, committed him to the care of a nurse of that nation. As he grew up, Pharaoh's daughter had him educated, and adopted him for her own son: and Pharaoh, havingno male child, designed him for the heir of his kingdom. Thus arrived to maturity of age, brought up in a manner which... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 11:26

Hebrews 11:26. Esteeming the reproach of Christ— This signifies "reproach suffered for the sake of Christ," as the marks of the Lord Jesus are the marks of the stripes which were borne for the sake of Jesus. See Galatians 6:17. Dumont supposes, that the Israelites expected deliverance by the Messiah, and that the Egyptians insulted them on that account. The recompence of reward could not be temporal grandeur, which he might have had with much greater security and advantage in Egypt;—nor the... read more
