This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
ye had compassion on me in my bonds - The oldest manuscripts and versions omit “me,” and read, “Ye both sympathized with those in bonds (answering to the last clause of Heb 10:33; compare Heb 13:3, Heb 13:23; Heb 6:10), and accepted (so the Greek is translated in Heb 11:35) with joy (Jam 1:2; joy in tribulations, as exercising faith and other graces, Rom 5:3; and the pledge of the coming glory, Mat 5:12) the plundering of your (own) goods (answering to the first clause of Heb 10:33).”
in yourselves - The oldest manuscripts omit “in”: translate, “knowing that ye have for (or ‘to’) yourselves.”
better - a heavenly (Heb 11:16).
enduring - not liable to spoiling.
substance - possession: peculiarly our own, if we will not cast away our birthright.
