The conclusion. Remember those who are in prison The phrase "Remember those who are in prison" calls believers to a profound sense of empathy and solidarity with those who are incarcerated. The Greek word for "remember" is "mnemoneuete," which implies an active, ongoing mindfulness rather than a passive recollection. In the historical context of the early church, many Christians were imprisoned for their faith, and this exhortation would have been a direct call to support fellow believers facing persecution. The conservative Christian perspective emphasizes the importance of community and the body of Christ, urging believers to not only pray for but also actively support those who suffer for righteousness' sake. as if you were bound with them and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering As being yourselves also in the body.--"Mindful that you, like them, still dwell in a body liable to pain, and may therefore suffer ill-treatment in the cause of Christ." Verse 3. - Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. The Hebrew readers have been also specially commended for their past sympathy with their imprisoned and despoiled brethren (Hebrews 10:33, etc.), having been themselves also at the same time persecuted. Whether or not sufferers themselves now, they must not be forgetful of those that are "As bound with them" seems best taken as expressing the sympathy of one member with another (cf. Hebrews 10:33, 34 and 1 Corinthians 12:26, "If one member suffer," etc.). "As being yourselves," etc., reminds them that they are still in the flesh, and so not only on this account bound to sympathize, but also liable themselves at any time to the like afflictions. Exhortations to personal purity and to contentedness follow next. Of the need, and prominence in the Epistles, of warnings against impurity see what was said on ἁγιασμόν (Hebrews 12:14). St. Paul is given to couple covetousness 'rod uncleanness together in his warnings, as cognate sins, and alike incompatible with the kingdom of God (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:10, 11; 1 Corinthians 6:9, etc.; Ephesians 5:3, 5; Colossians 3:5). Greediness, or inordinate desire (πλεονεξία), may be for sensual indulgence or for wealth - the same word is used in both senses; and such πλεονεξία, whatever its object, is fatal to the spiritual life. So here, after a warning against impurity, comes a like one against covetousness.Parallel Commentaries ...
