Hebrews 13 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Cautions against proud behaviour, and the mischief of an unruly tongue.

So bad are men, and even believers, through the remainders of their corruption, that when the most important, comfortable doctrine is delivered to them for their own good, and that with the most convincing evidence, there is need of earnest entreaty and exhortation that they would bear it, and not fall out with it, neglect it, or reject it. It is good to have the law of holy love and kindness written in the hearts of Christians, one towards another. Religion teaches men true civility

and good breeding. It is not ill-tempered or uncourteous. Let the favour of God be toward you, and his grace continually working in you, and with you, bringing forth the fruits of holiness, as the first-fruits of glory.

Previous commentary:
The necessity of good works to prove the sincerity of faith, which otherwise will be of no more advantage than the faith of devils.
