- Hebrews‬ ‭10:24‭-‬25‬ ‭AMP‬‬
[24] and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, [25] not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:24‭-‬25‬ ‭CEV‬‬ - [24] We should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and to do helpful things.

We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer.


‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:22‭-‬25‬ ‭MSG‬‬- [22-25] So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.

The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
