A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
sorer--Greek, "worse," namely, "punishment" (literally, "vengeance") than any mere temporal punishment of the body.

suppose ye--an appeal to the Hebrews' reason and conscience.

thought worthy--by God at the judgment.

trodden under foot the Son of God--by "wilful" apostasy. So he treads under foot God Himself who "glorified His Son as an high priest" (Heb 5:5; Heb 6:6).

an unholy thing--literally, "common," as opposed to "sanctified." No better than the blood of a common man, thus involving the consequence that Christ, in claiming to be God, was guilty of blasphemy, and so deserved to die!

wherewith he was sanctified--for Christ died even for him. "Sanctified," in the fullest sense, belongs only to the saved elect. But in some sense it belongs also to those who have gone a far way in Christian experience, and yet fall away at last. The higher such a one's past Christian experiences, the deeper his fall.

done despite unto--by repelling in fact: as "blasphemy" is despite in words (Mar 3:29). "Of the Jews who became Christians and relapsed to Judaism, we find from the history of Uriel Acosta, that they required a blasphemy against Christ. 'They applied to Him epithets used against Molech the adulterous branch,' &c." [THOLUCK].

the Spirit of grace--the Spirit that confers grace. "He who does not accept the benefit, insults Him who confers it. He hath made thee a son: wilt thou become a slave? He has come to take up His abode with thee; but thou art introducing evil into thyself" [CHRYSOSTOM]. "It is the curse of evil eternally to propagate evil: so, for him who profanes the Christ without him, and blasphemes the Christ within him, there is subjectively no renewal of a change of mind (Heb 6:6), and objectively no new sacrifice for sins" (Heb 10:26) [THOLUCK].

26 For [1063] if we [2257] sin [264] wilfully [1596] after [3326] that we have received [2983] the knowledge [1922] of the truth [225], there remaineth [620] no more [3765] sacrifice [2378] for [4012] sins [266],
6 If [2532] they shall fall away [3895], to renew them [340] again [3825] unto [1519] repentance [3341]; seeing they crucify [388] to themselves [1438] the Son [5207] of God [2316] afresh [388], and [2532] put him to an open shame [3856].
29 But [1161] he [3739] that [302] shall blaspheme [987] against [1519] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] hath [2192] never [3756] [1519] [165] forgiveness [859], but [235] is [2076] in danger [1777] of eternal [166] damnation [2920]:
6 If [2532] they shall fall away [3895], to renew them [340] again [3825] unto [1519] repentance [3341]; seeing they crucify [388] to themselves [1438] the Son [5207] of God [2316] afresh [388], and [2532] put him to an open shame [3856].
5 So [3779] also [2532] Christ [5547] glorified [1392] not [3756] himself [1438] to be made [1096] an high priest [749]; but [235] he that said [2980] unto [4314] him [846], Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] Son [5207], to day [4594] have [1080] I [1473] begotten [1080] thee [4571].
27 But [1161] a certain [5100] fearful [5398] looking for [1561] of judgment [2920] and [2532] fiery [4442] indignation [2205], which shall [3195] devour [2068] the adversaries [5227].
26 For [1063] if we [2257] sin [264] wilfully [1596] after [3326] that we have received [2983] the knowledge [1922] of the truth [225], there remaineth [620] no more [3765] sacrifice [2378] for [4012] sins [266],
19 And [2532] for [5228] their [846] sakes [5228] I [1473] sanctify [37] myself [1683], that [2443] they [846] also [2532] might [5600] be sanctified [37] through [1722] the truth [225].
4 For [1063] it is impossible [102] for those who were once [530] enlightened [5461], and [5037] have tasted [1089] of the heavenly [2032] gift [1431], and [2532] were made [1096] partakers [3353] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151],
6 If [2532] they shall fall away [3895], to renew them [340] again [3825] unto [1519] repentance [3341]; seeing they crucify [388] to themselves [1438] the Son [5207] of God [2316] afresh [388], and [2532] put him to an open shame [3856].
19 And [2532] for [5228] their [846] sakes [5228] I [1473] sanctify [37] myself [1683], that [2443] they [846] also [2532] might [5600] be sanctified [37] through [1722] the truth [225].
17 Sanctify [37] them [846] through [1722] thy [4675] truth [225]: thy [4674] word [3056] is [2076] truth [225].
36 Say [3004] ye [5210] of him, whom [3739] the Father [3962] hath sanctified [37], and [2532] sent [649] into [1519] the world [2889], [3754] Thou blasphemest [987]; because [3754] I said [2036], I am [1510] the Son [5207] of God [2316]?
1 Jude [2455], the servant [1401] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [1161] brother [80] of James [2385], to them that are sanctified [37] by [1722] God [2316] the Father [3962], and [2532] preserved [5083] in Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and called [2822]:
2 Unto the church [1577] of God [2316] which [3588] is [5607] at [1722] Corinth [2882], to them that are sanctified [37] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], called [2822] to be saints [40], with [4862] all [3956] that in [1722] every [3956] place [5117] call upon [1941] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962], both [5037] theirs [846] and [2532] ours [2257]:
18 To open [455] their [846] eyes [3788], and to turn [1994] them from [575] darkness [4655] to [1519] light [5457], and [2532] from the power [1849] of Satan [4567] unto [1909] God [2316], that they [846] may receive [2983] forgiveness [859] of sins [266], and [2532] inheritance [2819] among [1722] them which are sanctified [37] by faith [4102] that is in [1519] me [1691].
32 And [2532] now [3569], brethren [80], I commend [3908] you [5209] to God [2316], and [2532] to the word [3056] of his [846] grace [5485], which [3588] is able [1410] to build you up [2026], and [2532] to give [1325] you [5213] an inheritance [2817] among [1722] all [3956] them which are sanctified [37].
28 For [1063] this [5124] is [2076] my [3450] blood [129] of the new [2537] testament [1242], which [3588] is shed [1632] for [4012] many [4183] for [1519] the remission [859] of sins [266].
16 For [1063] where [3699] a testament [1242] is, there must also of necessity [318] be [5342] the death [2288] of the testator [1303].
17 For [1063] a testament [1242] is of force [949] after [1909] men are dead [3498]: otherwise [1893] it is of [2480] no [3379] strength [2480] at all [3379] while [3753] the testator [1303] liveth [2198].
18 Whereupon [3606] neither [3761] the first [4413] testament was dedicated [1457] without [5565] blood [129].
19 For [1063] when [5259] Moses [3475] had spoken [2980] every [3956] precept [1785] to all [3956] the people [2992] according [2596] to the law [3551], he took [2983] the blood [129] of calves [3448] and [2532] of goats [5131], with [3326] water [5204], and [2532] scarlet [2847] wool [2053], and [2532] hyssop [5301], and sprinkled [4472] both [5037] the book [975] [846], and [2532] all [3956] the people [2992],
20 Saying [3004], This [5124] is the blood [129] of the testament [1242] which [3739] God [2316] hath enjoined [1781] unto [4314] you [5209].
17 For [3754] the law [3551] was given [1325] by [1223] Moses [3475], but grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225] came [1096] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
24 Being justified [1344] freely [1432] by his [846] grace [5485] through [1223] the redemption [629] that is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
13 Wherefore [1352] gird up [328] the loins [3751] of your [5216] mind [1271], be sober [3525], and hope [1679] to the end [5049] for [1909] the grace [5485] that is to be brought [5342] unto you [5213] at [1722] the revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547];
10 Of [4012] which [3739] salvation [4991] the prophets [4396] have enquired [1567] and [2532] searched diligently [1830], who [3588] prophesied [4395] of [4012] the grace [5485] that should come unto [1519] you [5209]:
14 How much [4214] more [3123] shall [2511] the blood [129] of Christ [5547], who [3739] through [1223] the eternal [166] Spirit [4151] offered [4374] himself [1438] without spot [299] to God [2316], purge [2511] your [5216] conscience [4893] from [575] dead [3498] works [2041] to [1519] serve [3000] the living [2198] God [2316]?
14 I know [1492], and [2532] am persuaded [3982] by [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], that [3754] there is nothing [3762] unclean [2839] of [1223] itself [1438]: but [1508] to him that esteemeth [3049] any thing [5100] to be [1511] unclean [2839], to him [1565] it is unclean [2839].
8 But [1161] I said [2036], Not so [3365], Lord [2962]: for [3754] nothing [3956] common [2839] or [2228] unclean [169] hath [1525] at any time [3763] entered [1525] into [1519] my [3450] mouth [4750].
28 And [5037] he said [5346] unto [4314] them [846], Ye [5210] know [1987] how [5613] that it is [2076] an unlawful thing [111] for a man [435] that is a Jew [2453] to keep company [2853], or [2228] come unto [4334] one of another nation [246]; but [2532] God [2316] hath shewed [1166] me [1698] that I should not [3367] call [3004] any [3367] man [444] common [2839] or [2228] unclean [169].
14 But [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Not so [3365], Lord [2962]; for [3754] I have [5315] never [3763] eaten [5315] any thing [3956] that is common [2839] or [2228] unclean [169].
5 Then [1899] the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] scribes [1122] asked [1905] him [846], Why [1302] walk [4043] not [3756] thy [4675] disciples [3101] according [2596] to the tradition [3862] of the elders [4245], but [235] eat [2068] bread [740] with unwashen [449] hands [5495]?
2 And [2532] when they saw [1492] some [5100] of his [846] disciples [3101] eat [2068] bread [740] with defiled [2839], that is to say [5123], with unwashen [449], hands [5495], they found fault [3201].
3 Beloved [27], when I gave [4160] all [3956] diligence [4710] to write [1125] unto you [5213] of [4012] the common [2839] salvation [4991], it was [2192] needful [318] for me [2192] to write [1125] unto you [5213], and exhort [3870] you that ye should earnestly contend [1864] for the faith [4102] which was once [530] delivered [3860] unto the saints [40].
4 To Titus [5103], mine own [1103] son [5043] after [2596] the common [2839] faith [4102]: Grace [5485], mercy [1656], and peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] the Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Saviour [4990].
32 And [1161] the multitude [4128] of them that believed [4100] were [2258] of one heart [2588] and [2532] of one [3391] soul [5590]: neither [2532] [3761] said [3004] any [1520] of them that ought [5100] of the things which he [846] possessed [5224] was [1511] his own [2398]; but [235] they [846] had [2258] all things [537] common [2839].
44 And [1161] all [3956] that believed [4100] were [2258] together [1909] [846], and [2532] had [2192] all things [537] common [2839];
3 Let nothing [3367] be done through [2596] strife [2052] or [2228] vainglory [2754]; but [235] in lowliness of mind [5012] let [2233] each [240] esteem [2233] other [240] better than [5242] themselves [1438].
10 Be kindly affectioned [5387] one to another [1519] [240] with brotherly love [5360]; in honour [5092] preferring [4285] one another [240];
4 For [1063] it is impossible [102] for those who were once [530] enlightened [5461], and [5037] have tasted [1089] of the heavenly [2032] gift [1431], and [2532] were made [1096] partakers [3353] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151],
5 And [2532] have tasted [1089] the good [2570] word [4487] of God [2316], and [5037] the powers [1411] of the world [165] to come [3195],
6 If [2532] they shall fall away [3895], to renew them [340] again [3825] unto [1519] repentance [3341]; seeing they crucify [388] to themselves [1438] the Son [5207] of God [2316] afresh [388], and [2532] put him to an open shame [3856].
