你 们 务 要 常 存 弟 兄 相 爱 的 心 。

Contextual Overview

¹ Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. ² Remember to welcome strangers, because some who have done this have welcomed angels without knowing it. ³ Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering as if you were suffering with them. ⁴ Marriage should be honored by everyone, and husband and wife should keep their marriage pure. God will judge as guilty those who take part in sexual sins. ⁵ Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. God has said, "I will never leave you; I will never abandon you." Deuteronomy 31:6 ⁶ So we can be sure when we say, "I will not be afraid, because the Lord is my helper. People can't do anything to me." Psalm 118:6 ⁷ Remember your leaders who taught God's message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their faith. ⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. ⁹ Do not let all kinds of strange teachings lead you into the wrong way. Your hearts should be strengthened by God's grace, not by obeying rules about foods, which do not help those who obey them. ¹⁰ We have a sacrifice, but the priests who serve in the Holy Tent cannot eat from it.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let brotherly love continue. The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions add, "in you"; or among you, as a church and society of Christians; for this is not to be understood of love to all mankind, or to those of the same nation, or who are in a strict natural relation brethren, though they are all in a sense brethren, and to be loved; but of love to those who are in the same spiritual relation to God, as their Father, to Christ, as the firstborn among many brethren; and are in the same church state, at least partakers of the same grace: and which love ought to be universal, and reach to all the saints, and be fervent and unfeigned, and as Christ hath loved us; and when it is genuine, it is active and laborious; and shows itself in praying with and for one another; in bearing one another's burdens; in forbearing and forgiving one another; in admonishing one another in love; in building up each other in the most holy faith; and in stirring up one another to the several duties of religion: and without this excellent and useful grace, a profession of religion is in vain; this is an evidence of regeneration; it is the bond of perfectness, and what renders the saints' communion delightful and edifying: many are the arguments moving to the exercise of it; as the love of God, and Christ; the new commandment of Christ; the relation saints stand in to one another; the comfort and joy of Gospel ministers, and our own peace and edification: and this should continue; for the love of God and Christ continues; the relation between the saints continues; and without this, churches cannot continue long: the apostle means, not the grace itself, the internal principle, for that, where it once is, always continues, and can never be lost; but the exercise and increase of it, an abounding in it yet more and more. One of the Jewish prayers is to this purpose q;

"he that dwells in this house, let him plant among you

אחוה ואהבה, "brotherhood and love", (or brotherly love,) peace and friendship.''

q T. Hieros. Beracot, fol. 3. 3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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 John 13:34.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIII.

Verse Hebrews 13:1. 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 "Titus 3:4".
