COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
26. Compare on this and following verses, Hebrews 6:4-8 , c. There the warning was that if there be not diligence in progressing, a falling off will take place, and apostasy may ensue: here it is, that if there be lukewarmness in Christian communion, apostasy may ensue. if we sin — Greek present participle: if we be found sinning, that is, not isolated acts, but a state of sin [ALFORD]. A violation not only of the law, but of the whole economy of the New Testament ( Hebrews 10:28 Hebrews 10:29 ). wilfully —presumptuously, Greek "willingly." After receiving "full knowledge (so the Greek, compare Hebrews 10:29- : ) of the truth," by having been "enlightened," and by having "tasted" a certain measure even of grace of "the Holy Ghost" (the Spirit of truth, Hebrews 10:29- : ; and "the Spirit of grace," Hebrews 10:29- : ): to fall away (as "sin" here means, Hebrews 3:12 ; Hebrews 3:17 ; compare Hebrews 6:6 ) and apostatize ( Hebrews 3:12 ) to Judaism or infidelity, is not a sin of ignorance, or error (" out of the way, " the result) of infirmity, but a deliberate sinning against the Spirit ( Hebrews 10:29 ; Hebrews 5:2 ): such sinning, where a consciousness of Gospel obligations not only was, but is present: a sinning presumptuously and preseveringly against Christ's redemption for us, and the Spirit of grace in us. "He only who stands high can fall low. A lively reference in the soul to what is good is necessary in order to be thoroughly wicked; hence, man can be more reprobate than the beasts, and the apostate angels than apostate man" [THOLUCK]. remaineth no more sacrifice —For there is but ONE Sacrifice that can atone for sin; they, after having fully known that sacrifice, deliberately reject it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-27" class="com-number"
