Commentary

Commentary on Hebrews 13:21

Theological / Devotional

Make you perfect. Gr. katartizo (see on 1 Peter 5:10; cf. on Matt. 5:48).

Good work. Textual evidence is divided (cf. p. 10) between omitting and retaining the word “work.” Accordingly, the “good” describes what Paul wishes his readers to have and to be, rather than what he wishes them to do. The purpose of this “good,” however, is that they may the more effectively “do his will.”

Working in you. See on Phil. 2:13.

Through Jesus Christ. See on Gal. 2:20.

To whom be glory. See on Gal. 1:5.

For ever and ever. See on Matt. 25:41; Rev. 1:6.

Amen. See on Matt. 5:18; Rom. 15:33.
