Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-39

I. Here the apostle sets forth the dignities of the gospel state. It is fit that believers should know the honours and privileges that Christ has procured for them, that, while they take the comfort, they may give him the glory of all. The privileges are, 1. Boldness to enter into the holiest. They have access to God, light to direct them, liberty of spirit and of speech to conform to the direction; they have a right to the privilege and a readiness for it, assistance to use and improve it and... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 10:26-31

10:26-31 For, if we deliberately sin after we have received full knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sin is left. All that we can expect is to wait in terror for judgment and for that flaming wrath which will consume the adversaries of God. Anyone who regards the law of Moses as a dead letter dies without pity on the evidence of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you think, that man will be deemed worthy who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, who has failed to... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:29

Of how much sorer punishment ,.... Than a mere corporeal death, which was the punishment inflicted on the transgressors of the law of Moses. Suppose ye ; the apostle appeals to the Hebrews themselves, and makes them judges of what punishment shall he be thought worthy ; who is described as follows: who hath trodden under foot the Son of God : this seems to be a stronger expression than crucifying him again, Hebrews 6:6 and is to be understood, not of what was in fact committed,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:29

Of how much sorer punishment - Such offenses were trifling in comparison of this, and in justice the punishment should be proportioned to the offense. Trodden under foot the Son of God - Treated him with the utmost contempt and blasphemy. The blood of the covenant - an unholy thing - The blood of the covenant means here the sacrificial death of Christ, by which the new covenant between God and man was ratified, sealed, and confirmed. And counting this unholy, or common, κοινον ,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:29

Verse 29 29.Who has trodden under foot the Son of God, etc. There is this likeness between apostates under the Law and under the Gospel, that both perish without mercy; but the kind of death is different; for the Apostle denounces on the despisers of Christ not only the deaths of the body, but eternal perdition. And therefore he says that a sorer punishment awaits them. And he designates the desertion of Christianity by three things; for he says that thus the Son of God is trodden under foot,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-39

Hebrews 10:19-39 . HORTATORY PORTION OF THE EPISTLE . The great doctrine of Christ's eternal priesthood having been led up to, established by argument, and at length fully expounded, it remains only to press the practical result of a belief in it in alternate tones of encouragement and of warning. We have seen that, even in the earlier chapters, hortatory passages were frequently interposed, showing the purpose all along in the writer's mind. In the central and deepest part of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:26-29

The darkest sin and the most dreadful doom. "For if we sin willfully after that we have received," etc. These solemn words set before us— I. A SIN OF THE GREATEST ENORMITY . TO obtain a correct view of the dark sin which is here depicted, let us notice: 1. The spiritual experience which preceded the sin . Two clauses of our text set forth a personal experience of genuine religion. "After that we have received the knowledge of the truth." The word which is translated... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:26-31

The guilt and doom of apostasy. This is a terrible passage even to read. It is fitted to fill with alarm the hearts of those who refuse to "draw near" to God, or confess his Name, or hold communion with his people. It is introduced here, like the similar warning in Hebrews 6:4-8 , as a motive to Christian steadfastness. I. THE GUILT OF APOSTASY . This tremendous sin is described: 1. Generally. (Verse 26) The context shows that to "sin willfully" refers neither to any... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:29-30

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing , and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? It has been already remarked how these very strong expressions (answering to those in Hebrews 6:6 ) further denote the kind of sin. intended by ἁμαρτανόντων in Hebrews 10:26 . Three characteristics of it are given: Citations from... read more
