SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:36
porque la paciencia os es necesaria, para que, habiendo hecho la voluntad de Dios, obtengis la promesa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 10:36
Verse 36. Ye have need of patience] Having so great a fight of sufferings to pass through, and they of so long continuance. God furnishes the grace; you must exercise it. The grace or principle of patience comes from God; the use and exercise of that grace is of yourselves. Here ye must be workers together with God. Patience and perseverance are nearly the same. Have done the will of God] By keeping the faith, and patiently suffering for it.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. For ye have need of patience , etc..] Not that they were destitute of the grace of patience; for where God is the God of all grace, he is the God of patience; and such, who are called by grace, are conformed to the image of Christ, and, among other things, are like him in this; and those who are born of the Spirit, have the fruits of the Spirit, and this, among the rest; to whom the word of God is effectual, this fruit is produced in them, that being the word of patience; and such who are brought into the kingdom of Christ, are also in the patience of Jesus; where there is one grace, there is every grace; saints are immediately called to sufferings and trials, which require patience; and, without this, there can be no enjoyment of a man's self: but the meaning is, that they needed the continuance, exercise, and increase of it; in general, to run the race set before them; to bear afflictions from the hand of God, and reproaches and persecutions from men; to wait for God, when he hides his face, and for answers of prayer, when they are deferred; and to bear up, and not to sink under temptations; and to live in the constant expectation of heaven and happiness: and, in particular, it is necessary for the following, that after ye have done the will of God : there is the purposing will of God, which is done by himself; and there is his revealed will, touching the salvation of men, which is done by his Son; and there is his will of precept to be done by men; and which, when done aright, is done according to the rule of his word, in faith, from love, through the strength of Christ, and by the assistance of his Spirit and grace, with a view to his glory, and without any dependence on what is done: and the will of God regards suffering, as well as doing; for to that the saints are also called, to which patience is necessary: ye might receive the promise ; that is, of eternal life; not the promise itself, which they had received already, but the thing promised; which is the sense, in which this word is often used in this book, ( Hebrews 6:12,17 11:13,39) which is so called, to show that it is not of works, for promise and merit do not agree together; but that it is of grace, and will certainly be enjoyed, but must be patiently waited for.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 32-39 - Many and various afflictions united against the early Christians, an they had a great conflict. The Christian spirit is not a selfis spirit; it puts us upon pitying others, visiting them, helping them and pleading for them. All things here are but shadows. The happines of the saints in heaven will last for ever; enemies can never take i away as earthly goods. This will make rich amends for all we may los and suffer here. The greatest part of the saints' happiness, as yet, is in promise. It is a trial of the patience of Christians, to be conten to live after their work is done, and to stay for their reward til God's time to give it is come. He will soon come to them at death, to end all their sufferings, and to give them a crown of life. The Christian's present conflict may be sharp, but will be soon over. God never is pleased with the formal profession and outward duties an services of such as do not persevere; but he beholds them with grea displeasure. And those who have been kept faithful in great trails for the time past, have reason to hope for the same grace to help the still to live by faith, till they receive the end of their faith an patience, even the salvation of their souls. Living by faith, and dyin in faith, our souls are safe for ever __________________________________________________________________
