Context of Hebrews 10:25

23Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24and let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds, not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. 26For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.

Commentaries on Hebrews 10:25

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves - ̔ . Whether this means public or private worship is hard to say; but as the word is but once more used in the New Testament, ( 2 Thessalonians 2:1;), and there means the gathering together of the redeemed of the Lord at the day of judgment, it is as likely that it means here private religious meetings, for the purpose of mutual exhortation: and this sense appears the more natural here, because it is evident that…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together - That is, for purposes of public worship.

The agreement of infinite holiness with pardoning mercy, was not clearly understood till the…Read the comment
