‏ Hebrews 10:34

10:34  a those who were thrown into jail: Prisoners were dependent on friends and family for the most basic daily needs (cp. 13:3  b).

• when all you owned was taken from you: At times, the Roman government evicted groups of people from their homes and forced them to leave a city (see Acts 18:2-3  c). These Christians had faced this kind of persecution in the past and accepted it with joy (cp. Rom 5:3  d; Jas 1:2-4  e; 1 Pet 1:6  f). They anticipated better things . . . that will last forever (see Heb 11:35  g). God promises rewards to those who persevere faithfully.
