Context of Hebrews 6:10
8But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed—its end is to be burned over. 9But even though we speak like this, loved ones, concerning you we are convinced of better things—things coming with salvation. For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love that you showed for His name, in having served and continuing to serve the kedoshim. 11But we long for each of you to show the same eagerness for the certainty of hope to the very end— 12so you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those inheriting the promises through trust and perseverance.

Commentaries on Hebrews 6:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10God is not unrighteous - God is only bound to men by his own promise: this promise he is not obliged to make; but, when once made, his righteousness or justice requires him to keep it; therefore, whatever he has promised he will certainly perform. But he has promised to reward every good work and labor of love, and he will surely reward yours; God's promise is God's debt. Every good work must spring from faith in the name, being, and goodness of God; and…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10For God is not unrighteous - God will do no wrong. He will not forget or fail to reward the endeavors of his people to promote his glory, and to do good. The meaning here is, that by their kindness in ministering to the wants of the saints, they had given full evidence of true piety. If God should forget that, it would be “unrighteous: (1)because there was a propriety that it should be remembered; and, (2)because it is expressly promised that it shall not…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-10Verses 9-10 There are things that are never separated from salvation; things that show the person to be in a state of salvation, and which will end in eternal salvation. And the things that accompany salvation, are better things than ever any dissembler or apostate enjoyed. The works of love, done for the glory of Christ, or done to his saints for Christ's sake, from time to time, as God gives occasion, are evident marks of a man's salvation; and more…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10He will not forget your work: By showing love for God and his people, your actions prove your true connection with God (Romans 2:6–7; 1 Corinthians 3:13–15; James 2:14–20). God remembers (Exodus 2:24; 1 Chronicles 16:15; Psalm 106:45) and recognizes those who truly belong to him.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. not unrighteous--not unfaithful to His own gracious promise. Not that we have any inherent right to claim reward; for (1) a servant has no merit, as he only does that which is his bounden duty; (2) our best performances bear no proportion to what we leave undone; (3) all strength comes from God; but God has promised of His own grace to reward the good works of His people (already accepted through faith in Christ); it is His promise, not our merits…Read the comment
