Hebrews 10:33 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 10:33

Partly whilst ye were made a gazing stock
Brought upon the stage or theatre, and made a spectacle to the world, angels, and men, ( 1 Corinthians 4:9 )

both by reproaches and afflictions;
suffering both in their characters and reputations, and in their persons and substance:

and partly whilst ye became companions of them that were so used;
they maintained their communion with them, relieved them in distress, and sympathized with them.

Hebrews 10:33 In-Context

31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But remember the former days, when , after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

33 partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated.

34 For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.

35 Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
