Hebrews 12:10
_ _ Showing wherein the chastisement of our heavenly Father is preferable to that of earthly fathers.
_ _ for a few days — that is, with a view to our well-being in the few days of our earthly life: so the Greek.
_ _ after their own pleasure — Greek, “according to what seemed fit to themselves.” Their rule of chastening is what may seem fit to their own often erring judgment, temper, or caprice. The two defects of human education are: (1) the prevalence in it of a view to the interests of our short earthly term of days; (2) the absence in parents of the unerring wisdom of our heavenly Father. “They err much at one time in severity, at another in indulgence [1 Samuel 3:13; Ephesians 6:4], and do not so much chasten as THINK they chasten” [Bengel].
_ _ that we might be partakers of his holiness — becoming holy as He is holy (John 15:2). To become holy like God is tantamount to being educated for passing eternity with God (Hebrews 12:14; 2 Peter 1:4). So this “partaking of God’s holiness” stands in contrast to the “few days” of this life, with a view to which earthly fathers generally educate their sons. |
Hebrews 12:10
For they verily for a few days — How few are even all our day on earth! Chastened us as they thought good — Though frequently they erred therein, by too much either of indulgence or severity. But he always, unquestionably, for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness — That is, of himself and his glorious image. |
Hebrews 12:10
(7) For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness.
(7) An amplification of the same argument: Those fathers have corrected us after their fancy, for some frail and temporary good: but God chastens and instructs us for our singular good to make us partakers of his holiness: which although our senses do not presently perceive it, yet the end of the matter proves it. |
