Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 13:7

_ _ Remember — so as to imitate: not to invoke in prayer, as Rome teaches.

_ _ have the rule — rather, “who have had the rule over you”: your spiritual leaders.

_ _ whoGreek, “the which”: such persons as.

_ _ have spoken unto you — “spake” (so the Greek aorist means) during their lifetime. This Epistle was among those written later, when many of the heads of the Jerusalem Church had passed away.

_ _ whose faith — even unto death: probably death by martyrdom, as in the case of the instances of faith in Hebrews 11:35. Stephen, James the brother of our Lord and bishop of Jerusalem, as well as James the brother of John (Acts 12:2), in the Palestinian Church, which Paul addresses, suffered martyrdom.

_ _ consideringGreek, “looking up to,” “diligently contemplating all over,” as an artist would a model.

_ _ the end — the termination, at death. The Greek, is used of decease (Luke 9:31; 2 Peter 1:15).

_ _ of their conversation — “manner of life”: “religious walk” (Galatians 1:13; Ephesians 4:22; 1 Timothy 4:12; James 3:13). Considering how they manifested the soundness of their faith by their holy walk, which they maintained even to the end of that walk (their death by martyrdom).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 13:1-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 13:7

Remember them — Who are now with God, considering the happy end of their conversation on earth.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 13:7

(4) Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conversation.

(4) We have to set before us the examples of valiant captains, whom we ought diligently to follow.
