hebrews 12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that [the limb] which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

< Hebrews 12:11
Hebrews 12:13 >

      13. Quoted from Pr 4:26, Septuagint, "Make straight paths for thy feet."
      straight--that is, leading by a straight road to joy and grace (Heb 12:1, 2, 15). Cease to "halt" between Judaism and Christianity [BENGEL].
      paths--literally, "wheel tracks." Let your walk be so firm and so unanimous in the right direction that a plain track and "highway" may be thereby established for those who accompany and follow you, to perceive and walk in (Isa 35:8) [ALFORD].
      that which is lame--those "weak in the faith" (Ro 14:1), having still Judaizing prejudices.
      be turned out of the way-- (Pr 4:27); and, so missing the way, lose the prize of "the race" (Heb 12:1).
      rather he healed--Proper exercise of itself contributes to health; the habit of walking straight onward in the right way tends to healing.
