Context of Hebrews 10:25

23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24And let us consider one another to stir up to love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one another : and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 26For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour 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

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