EXHORTATION TO VARIOUS GRACES, ESPECIALLY CONSTANCY IN FAITH, FOLLOWING JESUS AMIDST REPROACHES. CONCLUSION, WITH PIECES OF INTELLIGENCE AND SALUTATIONS. (Heb. 13:1-25)
brotherly love--a distinct special manifestation of "charity" or "love" (Pe2 1:7). The Church of Jerusalem, to which in part this Epistle was addressed, was distinguished by this grace, we know from Acts (compare Heb 6:10; Heb 10:32-34; Heb 12:12-13).
continue--Charity will itself continue. See that it continue with you. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Let brotherly love continue - Implying that it now existed among them. The apostle had no occasion to reprove them for the want of it, as he had in regard to some to whom he wrote, but he aims merely to impress on them the importance of this virtue, and to caution them against the danger of allowing it ever to be interrupted; see the notes on Joh 13:34. |

Let brotherly love continue (φιλαδελφία μενέτω)
Φιλαδελφία in Paul, Rom 12:10; Th1 4:9. As a proper name, Rev 1:11; Rev 3:7. It is not necessary to suppose that the admonition implies signs of estrangement among those addressed. Comp. Heb 3:13; Heb 6:10; Heb 10:24; Heb 12:12-15. |

| Brotherly love is explained in the following verses. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Let brotherly love continue - Be all of one heart and one soul.
Feel for, comfort, and support each other; and remember that he who professes to love God should love his brother also. They had this brotherly love among them; they should take care to retain it. As God is remarkable for his φιλανθρωπια, philanthropy, or love to man, so should they be for φιλαδελφια, or love to each other. See the note on Tit 3:4. |
12 Wherefore [1352] lift up [461] the hands [5495] which hang down [3935], and [2532] the feeble [3886] knees [1119];
13 And [2532] make [4160] straight [3717] paths [5163] for your [5216] feet [4228], lest that [3363] which is lame [5560] be turned out of the way [1624]; but [1161] let it [2390] rather [3123] be healed [2390].
32 But [1161] call to remembrance [363] the former [4386] days [2250], in [1722] which [3739], after ye were illuminated [5461], ye endured [5278] a great [4183] fight [119] of afflictions [3804];
33 Partly [5124] [3303], whilst ye were made a gazingstock [2301] both [5037] by reproaches [3680] and [2532] afflictions [2347]; and [1161] partly [5124], whilst ye became [1096] companions [2844] of them that were [390] so [3779] used [390].
34 For [2532] [1063] ye had compassion [4834] of me in my [3450] bonds [1199], and [2532] took [4327] joyfully [3326] [5479] the spoiling [724] of your [5216] goods [5224], knowing [1097] in [1722] yourselves [1438] that ye have [2192] in [1722] heaven [3772] a better [2909] and [2532] an enduring [3306] substance [5223].
10 For [1063] God [2316] is not [3756] unrighteous [94] to forget [1950] your [5216] work [2041] and [2532] labour [2873] of love [26], which [3739] ye have shewed [1731] [1731] toward [1519] his [846] name [3686], in that ye have ministered [1247] to the saints [40], and [2532] do minister [1247].
7 And [1161] to [1722] godliness [2150] brotherly kindness [5360]; and [1161] to [1722] brotherly kindness [5360] charity [26].
34 A new [2537] commandment [1785] I give [1325] unto you [5213], That [2443] ye love [25] one another [240]; as [2531] I have loved [25] you [5209], that [2443] ye [5210] also [2532] love [25] one another [240].
4 Being made [1096] so much [5118] better than [2909] the angels [32], as [3745] he hath by inheritance obtained [2816] a more excellent [1313] name [3686] than [3844] they [846].
12 Wherefore [1352] lift up [461] the hands [5495] which hang down [3935], and [2532] the feeble [3886] knees [1119];
13 And [2532] make [4160] straight [3717] paths [5163] for your [5216] feet [4228], lest that [3363] which is lame [5560] be turned out of the way [1624]; but [1161] let it [2390] rather [3123] be healed [2390].
14 Follow [1377] peace [1515] with [3326] all [3956] men, and [2532] holiness [38], without [5565] which [3739] no man [3762] shall see [3700] the Lord [2962]:
15 Looking diligently [1983] lest [3361] any man [5100] fail [5302] of [575] the grace [5485] of God [2316]; lest [3361] any [5100] root [4491] of bitterness [4088] springing [5453] up [507] trouble [1776] you, and [2532] thereby [1223] [5026] many [4183] be defiled [3392];
24 And [2532] let us consider [2657] one another [240] to [1519] provoke [3948] unto love [26] and [2532] to good [2570] works [2041]:
10 For [1063] God [2316] is not [3756] unrighteous [94] to forget [1950] your [5216] work [2041] and [2532] labour [2873] of love [26], which [3739] ye have shewed [1731] [1731] toward [1519] his [846] name [3686], in that ye have ministered [1247] to the saints [40], and [2532] do minister [1247].
13 But [235] exhort [3870] one another [1438] daily [2596] [1538] [2250], while [891] [3739] it is called [2564] To day [4594]; lest [3363] any [5100] of [1537] you [5216] be hardened [4645] through the deceitfulness [539] of sin [266].
7 And [2532] to the angel [32] of the church [1577] in [1722] Philadelphia [5359] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] he that is holy [40], he that is true [228], he that hath [2192] the key [2807] of David [1138], he that openeth [455], and [2532] no man [3762] shutteth [2808]; and [2532] shutteth [2808], and [2532] no man [3762] openeth [455];
11 Saying [3004], I [1473] am [1510] Alpha [1] and [2532] Omega [5598], the first [4413] and [2532] the last [2078]: and [2532], What [3739] thou seest [991], write [1125] in [1519] a book [975], and [2532] send [3992] it unto the seven [2033] churches [1577] which [3588] are in [1722] Asia [773]; unto [1519] Ephesus [2181], and [2532] unto [1519] Smyrna [4667], and [2532] unto [1519] Pergamos [4010], and [2532] unto [1519] Thyatira [2363], and [2532] unto [1519] Sardis [4554], and [2532] unto [1519] Philadelphia [5359], and [2532] unto [1519] Laodicea [2993].
9 But [1161] as touching [4012] brotherly love [5360] ye need [2192] [5532] not [3756] that I write [1125] unto you [5213]: for [1063] ye [5210] yourselves [846] are [2075] taught of God [2312] to [1519] love [25] one another [240].
10 Be kindly affectioned [5387] one to another [1519] [240] with brotherly love [5360]; in honour [5092] preferring [4285] one another [240];
4 But [1161] after [3753] that the kindness [5544] and [2532] love [5363] of God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990] toward man [5363] appeared [2014],
