• in this case we must say were, not "are," your guides, for their course was closed, as the verse itself intimates. (“Hebrews 13:7-9” by W. Kelly)
• It is probable that some of their "leaders" had the rule among the saints; but this is not the force of the word here employed, which is of a more general import, and may not have been other than prominence in teaching and exhortation. (“Hebrews 13:7-9” by W. Kelly)
• the great present value, as in the past, is that it depended on the spiritual strength which God supplies, and not on official position to which an apostle or an apostolic delegate appointed (“Hebrews 13:7-9” by W. Kelly)
• There had been in earlier days a noble stand and severe endurance for it; and here they are exhorted to that which shone in departed guides (“Hebrews 13:7-9” by W. Kelly)
• In exhorting them (vs. 7) to remember those who have guided the flock, he speaks of those already departed in contrast with those still living (vs. 17). (“Hebrews 13” by J.N. Darby)
• If they spoke the word of God, it was not to attract to themselves but to Christ in heaven. Further, we are to imitate their faith—not their peculiarities, their mannerisms, or even their ministry. (“Outside the Camp: Hebrews 13” by H. Smith)

WK Translation Notes

a
It is calling to mind those apt to be forgotten who had passed away. Hence the text of the KJV is not in accordance with the truth. But in this case we must say "were," not "are," your guides, for their course was closed, as the verse itself intimates.
b
The RV has correctly treated the words as referring to their guides, not "who" but "the which" or such as spoke to them the word of God, whose faith they were to imitate, contemplating the issue of their career or behavior
