Hebrews 10:29

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:29

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy - That is, he who renounces Christianity ought to be regarded as deserving a much severer punishment than the man who apostatized from the Jewish religion, and if he ought to be so regarded he will be - for God will treat every man as he ought to be treated. This must refer to future punishment, for the severest punishment was inflicted on the apostate from the Jewish religion which can be in this world - death; and yet the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:26-39

Warning against turning back (10:26-39)Those who are tempted to go back to Judaism are reminded that apart from Christ’s work there is no way of salvation. If they reject him, they can expect only judgment (26-27). Even under the old covenant rebellion met with death. How much worse will be the punishment of those who have experienced the grace of God through Christ, yet deliberately reject and disown it (28-31).The writer encourages his readers not to forsake Christ, by reminding them of what... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:29

Of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot 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?There are two directions one's thoughts may take in reference to this verse. The extremely powerful language used to describe the apostate has led some to suppose that only the most shameful and incorrigibly wicked are included in the author's thoughts.... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:29

Hebrews 10:29. Who hath trodden under foot, &c.— Treading under foot, in general, is a mark of contempt, or of setting no value upon what is so treated. Hence it is applied to signify despising or not valuing the gospel of Christ. The next clause means, "And has looked upon the blood of Christ, wherewith he was separated from the world, admitted into covenant with God, and made one of his peculiar people, as a thing of no value or consequence; but as common, and not separated or designed... read more

So he treads under foot God Himself who "glorified His Son as an high priest" (Hebrews 5:5; Hebrews 6:6). an unholy thing—literally, "common," as opposed to "sanctified." No better than the blood of a common man, thus... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:11-39

III. THE HIGH PRIESTLY OFFICE OF THE SON 5:11-10:39The transition from exposition (Hebrews 4:15 to Hebrews 5:10) to exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20) marks the beginning of a new division in this sermon. The structure of this division is as follows. [Note: Ibid., p. 128.] a Preliminary exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20)A The priest who is like Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-28)B The single, personal sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 8:1 to Hebrews 9:28)C The achievement of eternal... read more

D. The Danger of Willful Sinning (The Fourth Warning) 10:19-39From this point on in the epistle the writer made application from the great truths concerning Jesus Christ that he had now finished explaining. He followed his exposition of Jesus Christ’s superior high priestly ministry (Hebrews 6:13 to Hebrews 10:18) with exhortation, another stern warning against apostatizing, and an encouragement to remain faithful to the Lord (Hebrews 10:19-39). (Even though chapter 11 is primarily exposition,... read more

2. The warning of judgment 10:26-31The writer turned from positive admonition to negative warning to highlight the seriousness of departing from the Lord."Between the imperatives of Hebrews 10:22-25; Hebrews 10:32; Hebrews 10:35, the author describes, more fully than in Hebrews 2:2 f.; Hebrews 6:4-6, the nature and consequences of apostasy, previously described as ’falling away from the living God’ (Hebrews 3:12)."
