Commentary

Greek, "For even": "for also"; introducing an additional solemn incentive to diligence. Quoted from Deu 4:24. our God--in whom we hope, is also to be feared. He is love (Jo1 4:8, Jo1 4:16); yet there is another side of His character; God has wrath against sin (Heb 10:27, Heb 10:31). Next: Hebrews Chapter 13
