The Expositor's Bible: The Epistle to the Hebrews
Edwards, Thomas Charles
Bible. Hebrews -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.
Let love of the brethren continue. Forget not to shew love unto
strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are
evil entreated, as being yourselves also in the body. Let marriage
be had in honour among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for
fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Be ye free from the love
of money; content with such things as ye have: for Himself hath
said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise
forsake thee. So that with good courage we say.
The Lord is my helper; I will not fear:
What shall man do unto me?
Remember them that had the rule over you, which spake unto you the
word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their
faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for
ever. Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is
good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein
they that occupied themselves were not profited. We have an altar,
whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For
the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy
place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned without
the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people
through His own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us therefore
go forth unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach. For we
have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is
to come. Through Him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to
God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to
His name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with
such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey them that have the rule
over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your
souls, as they that shall give account: that they may do this with
joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.
Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience,
desiring to live honestly in all things. And I exhort you the more
exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great
shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the eternal covenant, even
our Lord Jesus, make you perfect in every good thing to do His will,
working in us that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through
Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I
have written unto you in few words. Know ye that our brother Timothy
hath been set at liberty; with whom if he come shortly, I will see
you.
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints.
They of Italy salute you.
