Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:23

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering - To secure this was one of the leading designs of this Epistle, and hence, the apostle adverts to it so frequently. It is evident that those whom he wrote were suffering persecution Hebrews 12:0, and that there was great danger that they would apostatize. As these persecutions came probably from the Jews, and as the aim was to induce them to return to their former opinions, the object of the apostle is to show that there was in the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:11-18

Hebrews 10:11-18. And every priest standeth, &c. In token of humble service and subjection; daily Morning and evening; ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which shows that these sacrifices can never take away sins Can never fully expiate them, so as to make it consistent with the justice of God to forgive them to the penitent and believing. But this man Αυτος δε , but He, the virtue of whose one sacrifice remains for ever, so that it need not be any more... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:19-22

Hebrews 10:19-22. Having therefore The apostle, having finished the doctrinal part of his epistle, now proceeds to exhortation, deduced from what has been treated of from Hebrews 5:4. For though there are some occasional intermixtures of doctrines, consonant to those before insisted on, yet his professed design henceforward is to propose to, and press on, the believing Hebrews, such duties as the truths he had insisted on laid a foundation for, and showed to be necessary to be practised. ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:23-25

Hebrews 10:23-25. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith Or, rather, of our hope, as the most approved MSS., indeed all but one, read the clause. The apostle referred to that profession or confession of their hope of eternal life, which believers made at their baptism. For being God’s children, and heirs through faith in Christ, (John 1:12; Galatians 3:26,) they had an undoubted right to hope for the heavenly inheritance: without wavering Without giving way to any doubt or... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-18

Sacrifice under the new covenant (9:23-10:18)Levitical sacrifices were part of a material order and brought symbolic cleansing. Christ’s death is concerned with the spiritual order and brings actual cleansing (23). The Levitical high priest entered the symbolic presence of God with the blood of a sacrificial animal, a ceremony that had to be repeated yearly. Christ entered God’s real presence on account of his own blood, and he did so only once. His death is sufficient to remove completely the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

10:19-12:29 THE ENDURANCE OF GENUINE FAITHThe new covenant brings confidence (10:19-25)Access to God’s presence was limited under the old covenant. Only the high priest could pass through the curtain that closed the entrance to the Most Holy Place, and then only at certain times and under strict conditions. But now that Christ, by his death, has atoned for sin and opened the way to God, all God’s people are able to come before him. They can do so confidently, yet with the reverence and purity... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Hebrews 10:12

Man = Priest. after He had = having. for ever = continually. App-151 . Compare Hebrews 10:1 . In Authorized Version from 1611 to 1630 the comma was placed after "ever". But in 1638 it was removed to after "sins", thus going back to the punctuation of the Bishops' Bible of 1568. The Greek expression is not the usual one, eis ton aiona, but as verses: Hebrews 10:1 , Hebrews 10:14 , Hebrews 10:3 eis to dienekes ( App-151 . H), and means "continually", in distinction from "interruptedly". It... read more
