This word implies a deep, thoughtful contemplation rather than a casual glance. In the context of Hebrews, it suggests a deliberate and intentional focus on others within the Christian community. Historically, the early church was a close-knit community, often meeting in homes and sharing life together. This call to consider one another is a reminder of the importance of community and mutual support in the Christian faith.<p><b>how to spur one another on</b><br />The word "spur" is translated from the Greek "παροξυσμός" (paroxysmos), which can mean to provoke or to stimulate. It carries a sense of urgency and intensity, suggesting that believers should actively encourage and motivate each other. In the historical context of the early church, believers faced persecution and needed encouragement to remain steadfast in their faith. This phrase emphasizes the role of believers in helping each other grow and persevere in their spiritual journey.<p><b>to love</b><br />The Greek word for love here is "ἀγάπη" (agapē), which refers to selfless, sacrificial love. This is the kind of love that Christ demonstrated and is the highest form of love in Christian theology. In the scriptural context, love is the foundation of Christian ethics and community life. The call to spur one another to love highlights the centrality of love in the Christian faith and the need for believers to actively cultivate and encourage it within their community.<p><b>and good deeds</b><br />The phrase "good deeds" is translated from the Greek "καλῶν ἔργων" (kalōn ergōn), which refers to actions that are morally excellent and beneficial to others. In the early church, good deeds were a tangible expression of faith and love, serving as a witness to the surrounding world. This phrase underscores the importance of not only having faith but also demonstrating it through actions. The call to encourage good deeds reflects the biblical teaching that faith without works is dead (<a href="/james/2-26.htm">James 2:26</a>), and it challenges believers to live out their faith in practical ways.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(24) Gradually the writer passes from that which belongs to the individual (<a href="/context/hebrews/10-19.htm" title="Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,">Hebrews 10:19-20</a>) to the mutual duties of members of a community. Possibly he knew that amongst those whom he addresses there had existed "provocations" that did not tend towards brotherly love. The strict meaning may simply be--let us take note of one another, to stimulate one another to good works; but in the result, if not in the expression, is included the converse thought, "that we may ourselves be thus provoked."<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/hebrews/10-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">And</span><br /><span class="grk">καὶ</span> <span class="translit">(kai)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> </span><span class="str2">And, even, also, namely. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">let us consider</span><br /><span class="grk">κατανοῶμεν</span> <span class="translit">(katanoōmen)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Present Subjunctive Active - 1st Person Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2657.htm">Strong's 2657: </a> </span><span class="str2">To take note of, perceive, consider carefully, discern, detect, make account of.
