Hebrews 8:11

And they shall not teach every man— We are not to suppose that these words are designed to exclude all public and private, ministerial, family, and social instruction: for this is enforced in the New Testament institution of a gospel ministry, to continue to the consummation of all things (Matthew 28:20. Ephesians 4:11.); and in the obligation which it has laid upon Christian parents to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4.); as also in the directions which are given in this very epistle (ch. Hebrews 3:13 and Hebrews 10:24.) to private Christians, to exhort one another daily, &c. This passage therefore must be taken, either in a comparative sense, as such expressions often are (see Isaiah 43:18. Jeremiah 23:18. Matthew 9:13.); or else with reference to that manner of teaching which was used and rested in under the obscurities of the Old Testament dispensation, and the corrupt interpretations of the Jewish doctors; or both may be included.
