Hébreux 13:6

6 De sorte que nous disons avec assurance: Le Seigneur est mon aide, et je ne craindrai point; que me fera l'homme?

Hébreux 13:6 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 13:6

So that we may boldly say
Or confidently assert; for nothing is more true than this,

the Lord is my helper;
he is able to help, and does help, when none else can; he has promised to be the helper of his people; he has laid help for them on Christ, who is mighty; and he has helped him as man, that he might help them; he has set up a throne of grace for them to come to, where they may find help; and experience confirms the truth of this assertion; every believer can set up an Ebenezer, and say, hitherto hath the Lord helped me: the people of God are of themselves helpless ones; there is no help for them in man; their help is only in the Lord; who helps them out of the pit of sin and misery; out of the hands of all their enemies; out of all their afflictions, and "out" of all the dangers they are exposed unto by Satan and his temptations, by reason of a body of sin and death, and no account of the world, and the men of it: he helps them "in" the exercise of grace, and in the discharge of duty; in bearing the cross; in fighting the Lord's battles; and in their journeying through the wilderness: he helps them "to" temporal blessings, and spiritual ones; to spiritual food and raiment, and to all needful supplies of grace, and, at last, to eternal glory and happiness: and the help he now affords is quick and present, suitable and seasonable, and is what is sufficient; and is sometimes with, and sometimes without means.

And I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
There is a becoming fear and reverence which is due to men that are our superiors, whether in civil or religious affairs; but men are not to be feared, when opposed to God; not a single man only is not to be feared, but even all men; and not they only, but all that they can do; the utmost of which is to kill the body; the ground of this fearlessness in believers are the infinite power, grace, and goodness of God. The words seem to be taken out of ( Psalms 54:4 ) ( 56:4 ) ( 118:6 ) .

4 Que le mariage soit honorable en toutes choses, et le lit sans souillure; or, Dieu jugera les fornicateurs et les adultères.

5 Que votre conduite soit exempte d'avarice; soyez contents de ce que vous avez; car Dieu lui-même a dit: Certainement je ne te laisserai point, et je ne t'abandonnerai point.

6 De sorte que nous disons avec assurance: Le Seigneur est mon aide, et je ne craindrai point; que me fera l'homme?

7 Souvenez-vous de vos conducteurs, qui vous ont annoncé la parole de Dieu, et considérant l'issue de leur vie, imitez leur foi.

8 Jésus-Christ est le même, hier et aujourd'hui, et pour l'éternité.
