1. The weakness of the law sacrifices.
10. The sacrifice of Christ's body once offered,

19. An exhortation to hold fast the faith with patience and thanksgiving.














You need perseverance
The Greek word for "perseverance" is "hypomonē," which conveys a sense of steadfastness, endurance, and patience. In the context of early Christianity, believers faced persecution and trials, requiring them to remain steadfast in their faith. This perseverance is not passive but active, involving a continuous commitment to faith and righteousness despite challenges. Historically, the early church was often under threat, and this call to perseverance would have been a rallying cry for believers to hold fast to their convictions.

so that after you have done the will of God
The phrase "done the will of God" emphasizes obedience and action. The Greek word for "done" is "poieō," which means to make or to do, indicating that faith is demonstrated through actions aligned with God's will. This reflects the biblical principle that faith without works is dead (James 2:26). The "will of God" refers to living according to His commandments and purposes, which is a central theme throughout Scripture. Historically, this would have been understood as living a life that reflects the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, even in the face of adversity.

you will receive what He has promised
The promise referred to here is the eternal reward and inheritance that God has assured to those who remain faithful. The Greek word for "receive" is "komizō," which means to carry off or to receive back, suggesting a future fulfillment of God's promises. This promise is rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, as seen throughout the Old and New Testaments. The assurance of receiving God's promises would have been a source of hope and encouragement for early Christians, who often faced uncertainty and persecution. The promise is not just a future hope but a present reality that sustains believers in their journey of faith.

(36) Patience--i.e., brave, patient endurance (see the Note on Hebrews 6:12). The general strain of the exhortation in that chapter (Hebrews 10:9-20) closely resembles these verses.

That, after ye have done . . . ye might.--Better, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. To do the will of God (Hebrews 13:21) is the necessary condition for receiving the promised blessing and reward (see Hebrews 11:39); for both "endurance" is necessary. In these words we have an echo of Matthew 7:21, where our Lord sums up His requirements from those who call themselves His in words which express the purpose of His own life (Hebrews 10:7; Hebrews 10:9; John 4:34). . . .
