Rev. 2:4• ⁴But I have against thee that thou hast relaxed thy first love. (Rev. 2:4)

• This is very needful in the long run; and the epistle was among not the early but the later ones. It was easy enough in the glow of first love, and was strengthened instead of checked by prevalent persecutions for the sake of the faith. But when these trials do not so much press, the very nearness of the saints to each other, as God's family here below, exposes them to danger. For the less grace souls have personally for daily difficulties, the more they expect from others, and the harsher the judgments they hastily form. (“Hebrews 13:1-6” by W. Kelly)

• The exhortations are as simple as they are weighty, and require but few remarks. They rest in the sphere in which the whole of the epistle does: what relates to the Christian’s path as walking here, not what flows from union with Christ in heavenly places. (“Hebrews 13” by J.N. Darby)

• Chapter 13 shows that the heavenly path lies outside the religious world, and that the present portion of those who belong to heaven is one of reproach. (“Outside the Camp: Hebrews 13” by H. Smith)

• We are to see that this love “abides.” The danger is that the love that is called forth by special trial or persecution may wane in the everyday life amongst those who are in daily contact with one another. (“Outside the Camp: Hebrews 13” by H. Smith)
