Vincent Word Studies - Hebrews 13:6 - 13:6


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

So that we may boldly say (ὥστε θαρροῦντας ἡμᾶς λέγειν)

Lit. so that, being of good courage, we say. Θαρρεῖν to be confident or bold, only here in Hebrews. Elsewhere only in Paul. The kindred form θαρσεῖν is used in N.T. only in the imperative θάρσει or θαρσεῖτε take courage. See Mat 9:2; Mar 6:50; Joh 16:33; Act 23:11.

The Lord is my helper, etc.

From lxx, Psa 107:6 with slight alteration. Here, what shall man do unto me is an independent clause. lxx inserts and: “my helper and I will not fear,” and connects the last clause with “fear”: “I will not fear what man will do.”
