"and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;" — Hebrews 10:24 (ASV)
Gradually the writer passes from that which belongs to the individual (Hebrews 10:19–20) to the mutual duties of members of a community. Possibly he knew that among 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.”
