Commentary on Hebrews 10:7

Theological / Devotional

I come. Rather, “I have come.” The word seems to express an immediate response to a situation that required a remedy.

Volume. Rather, “roll.” See on Ps. 40:7.

To do thy will. In the original context this phrase described moral obedience to the will of God. The author of Hebrews uses the phrase to show that the sacrifice of Christ fulfilled the will of God in providing an acceptable atonement, which the animal sacrifices had not provided. This point he proceeds to amplify.
