This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
everlasting Greek. aionion. App-151. In the same sense as in Heb_5:9 (Isa_45:17); Mat_6:2; Mat_9:12. 2Th_1:9. (Compare Psa_52:5; Psa_92:7.) The eternal result must be the same as in the next clause.
punishment. Greek. kolasis. According to Aristotle kolasis has regard to him who suffers it, while timoria has regard to the satisfaction of him who inflicts it. (Occurs only in Heb_10:29. The verb timoreo only in Act_22:5, and Act_26:11.) Kolasis occ only here, and 1Jn_4:18 (the verb kolazomai only in Act_4:21; 2Pe_2:9). What this kolasis is must be learnt from Mat_25:41. Compare Mat_3:12, and note on Luk_3:17.
