Commentary

Commentary on Hebrews 10:27

Theological / Devotional

Fearful looking for. Or, “fearful prospect of” (RSV).

Judgment. Gr. krisis, the act of executing judgment, here the final judgment, as the additional expression “fiery indignation” makes evident (see on Acts 17:31; Heb. 9:27).

Fiery indignation. Rather, “intenseness of fire,” that is, the fires of the last day (see 2 Peter 3:7, 10-12; Rev. 20:9-15). Reference is to the intensity of the fire, not to the divine attitude that finds expression in the fire (see on Rom. 1:18).

Devour. Or, “eat up,” “consume.”

The adversaries. That is, the deliberate, confirmed sinners of v. 26.
