Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
ye had compassion on me in my bonds—The oldest manuscripts and versions omit "me," and read, "Ye both sympathized with those in bonds (answering to the last clause of Hebrews 10:33; compare Hebrews 13:3, Hebrews 13:23; Hebrews 6:10), and accepted (so the Greek is translated in Hebrews 11:35) with joy (James 1:2; joy in tribulations, as exercising faith and other graces, Romans 5:3; and the pledge of the coming glory, Matthew 5:12) the plundering of your (own) goods (answering to the first clause of Hebrews 10:33)."
in yourselves—The oldest manuscripts omit "in": translate, "knowing that ye have for (or 'to') yourselves."
better—a heavenly (Hebrews 11:16).
enduring—not liable to spoiling.
substance—possession: peculiarly our own, if we will not cast away our birthright.
