Commentary

Commentary on Hebrews 13:18

Theological / Devotional

Pray for us. Or, “keep praying for us,” or “make it a habit to pray for us.” Compare Eph. 6:19; Col. 4:12. Although he was a man of wide experience and great spiritual stature, Paul appreciated and sought the prayers of his brethren in Christ. Every true leader deeply appreciates the interest and prayers of those for whom he labors.

Trust. Gr. peitho, in the form here used meaning “to be convinced,” “to be certain.”

A good conscience. That is, a clear conscience. Compare Paul’s repeated affirmations of possessing a clear conscience (see Acts 23:1; 24:16; Rom. 9:1; 2 Cor. 1:12; 2 Tim. 1:3).

Willing. Literally, “desiring.” It is the writer’s purpose to reflect the principles of the gospel fully in his own life (cf. 1 Cor. 9:27).

Live honestly. That is, conduct yourself honorably.
