Hebrews 13:1 (KJV) Let Brotherly Love Continue

Hebrews 13:1 (KJV)

Let brotherly love continue.

Hebrews 12:28–13:3 (KJV):
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
Let brotherly love continue.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

It’s a startling jump from “Our God is a consuming fire” to “Let brotherly love continue.”

It might be helpful to consider some observations of preachers past:

• Barnes:
  “The apostle had no occasion to reprove them for the want of it, as he had in regard to some to whom he wrote, but he aims merely to impress on them the importance of this virtue, and to caution them against the danger of allowing it ever to be interrupted.”
• Gill:
  “Without this excellent and useful grace, a profession of religion is in vain; this is an evidence of regeneration.”
• Benson:
  “Love is the fountain and foundation of all moral and religious duties which Christians owe to each other and to all men, and therefore it is here placed at the head of them all.”

Benson further writes:
“It is justly observed … that this exhortation was peculiarly suitable to the converted Jews, as the prejudices of many of them against their Gentile brethren were so strong that they were ready to disown them with abhorrence.”

It is reprehensible, dangerous, even a possible indication of false profession, should this love be interrupted.
