This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Let us consider one another (κατανοῶμεν ἀλλήλους)
Take careful note of each other's spiritual welfare. For the verb see on Jam 1:23. It denotes attentive, continuous care. Comp. Heb 3:1.
To provoke (εἰς παροξυσμὸν)
Lit. with a view to incitement. Only here and Act 15:39. From παροξύνειν to sharpen. Hence to stimulate. In Act 15:39, the result of provocation; irritation or contention. Here the act of incitement. Twice in lxx, Deuteronomy 29:28 (Deu 29:27); Jeremiah 39:3, 7 (Jer 32:3, Jer 32:7); for the Hebrew קֶצֶף anger, wrath, altercation. The Hebrew derivation is from קָצַֽף a splinter. The new economy demands mutual care on the part of the members of the Christian community. Comp. 1Co 12:25. They must stir up each other's religious affections and ministries.
