Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Hebrews 10:33

Whilst ye were made a gazing - stock [θ ε α τ ρ ι ζ ο μ ε ν ο ι]. N. T. o. o LXX, o Class. Lit. exhibited in the theater. Comp. 1 Corinthians 4:9. Whilst ye became companions [κ ο ι ν ω ν ο ι γ ε ν η θ ε ν τ ε ς]. Rend. by becoming partakers. More than companionship is implied. For koinwnoi see on Luke 5:10. The noun and its kindred verb in N. T. almost exclusively of ethical and spiritual relations, as 1 Timothy 5:22; 1 Peter 4:13; 2 John 1:11; 1 Corinthians 10:18; 2 Corinthians 1:7; Philippians 1:17. Even when applied to pecuniary contributions they imply Christian fellowship as the basis of the liberality. See on Romans 12:13; Romans 14:27; Philippians 4:15.

Of them that were so used [τ ω ν ο υ τ ω ς α ν α σ τ ρ φ ο μ ε ν ω ν]. Rend. "of them that fared thus." Others render " who conducted themselves thus "; endured their persecutions, so bravely. But the outwv can refer only to made a gazing - stock.
