Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
The Holy Ghost - is a witness to us - The words are quoted from Jer 31:33, Jer 31:34, and here we are assured that Jeremiah spoke by the inspiration of the Spirit of God. Had said before - See Heb 8:10, Heb 8:12, and the notes there.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
The Greek, has "moreover," or "now." is a witness--of the truth which I am setting forth. The Father's witness is given Heb 5:10. The Son's, Heb 10:5. Now is added that of the Holy Spirit, called accordingly "the Spirit of grace," Heb 10:29. The testimony of all Three leads to the same conclusion (Heb 10:18). for after that he had said before--The conclusion to the sentence is in Heb 10:17, "After He had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them (with the house of Israel, Heb 8:10; here extended to the spiritual Israel) . . . saith the Lord; I will put (literally, 'giving,' referring to the giving of the law; not now as then, giving into the hands, but giving) My laws into their hearts ('mind,' Heb 8:10) and in their minds ('hearts,' Heb 8:10); I will inscribe (so the Greek) them (here He omits the addition quoted in Heb 8:10-11, I will be to them a God . . . and they shall not teach every man his neighbor . . .), and (that is, after He had said the foregoing, HE THEN ADDS) their sins . . . will I remember no more." The great object of the quotation here is to prove that, there being in the Gospel covenant, "REMISSION of sins" (Heb 10:17), there is no more need of a sacrifice for sins. The object of the same quotation in Heb 8:8-13 is to show that, there being a "NEW covenant," the old is antiquated.
John Gill Bible Commentary
Wherefore the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us,.... In Jer 31:33. This preface to the following citation shows that the books of the Old Testament are of divine original and authority; that the penmen of them were inspired by the Holy Ghost; that he existed in the times of the Old Testament; that he is truly and properly God, the Lord, or Jehovah, that speaks in the following verses; and that he is a distinct divine Person, and the author of the covenant of grace; and in what he says in that covenant, he bears testimony to the truths before delivered, concerning the insufficiency and abolition of legal sacrifices, and of full and perfect remission of sin, by the blood and sacrifice of Christ: for after that he had said before; what is expressed in the following verse.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
10:15-17 The author again quotes from Jer 31:33-34 (see Heb 8:7-12) to support the statement in 10:14, that Christ’s one offering under the new covenant has made worshipers perfect forever. • God’s laws have now been placed in their hearts and on their minds. This has internalized the believer’s relationship with God. • I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds: As the author has shown (9:11–10:14), the superior sacrifice of Christ has made this new covenant reality possible.
Hebrews 10:15
Christ’s Perfect Sacrifice
14because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:

(Power From on High) 21. the Holy Spirit in the Epistle to the Hebrews
By A.B. Simpson0The New CovenantThe Role of the Holy SpiritHEB 2:4HEB 3:7HEB 6:4HEB 9:14HEB 10:15HEB 10:29A.B. Simpson emphasizes the vital role of the Holy Spirit in the Epistle to the Hebrews, illustrating His connection to Christ's death, the New Covenant, and the supernatural workings of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit not only empowered Jesus during His crucifixion but also serves as the witness of the New Covenant, writing God's laws on our hearts. Simpson urges believers to heed the Spirit's call for immediate decisions in their faith journey, warning against the dangers of backsliding. He reassures that while the warnings in Hebrews are serious, God's mercy remains available for the penitent. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit guides us toward a life of victory and faithfulness, preparing us for eternal communion with God.
The Holy Spirit in the Epistle to the Hebrews
By Arno Clemens Gaebelein0HEB 2:4HEB 3:7HEB 6:4HEB 9:8HEB 9:14HEB 10:15HEB 10:29Arno Clemens Gaebelein delves into the Epistle to the Hebrews, emphasizing its original address to Jewish Christians in Jerusalem who were still zealous for the law. The epistle contains warnings against turning back to Judaism after experiencing the gospel and the Spirit of God, highlighting the importance of perseverance in faith. Various passages in Hebrews underscore the role of the Holy Spirit in confirming the truth of Christ's sacrifice, guiding believers, and revealing God's Word through the prophets.
The Spirit's Object
By Miles J. Stanford0JHN 16:14ROM 8:91CO 6:17GAL 5:22EPH 4:301TH 5:19HEB 10:151JN 4:13JUD 1:20Miles J. Stanford preaches on the unity believers have with the Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit, emphasizing how the Spirit constantly directs our focus to Jesus, engraving His image in our hearts, thoughts, words, and actions. Stanford highlights that spiritual growth is not about perfection but about making Jesus the central focus of our lives, with the Holy Spirit guiding us in understanding divine truths and transforming us from within. He reminds believers that true growth comes from yielding to the work of the Spirit, allowing the Cross to crucify our fleshly desires and worldly attachments, ultimately glorifying Jesus in all aspects of our lives.
The Witness of the Spirit
By J.W. McGarvey0NEH 9:30PSA 22:1PSA 23:1ROM 6:18ROM 8:162CO 5:6EPH 1:71TH 1:4HEB 10:151JN 3:2J.W. McGarvey preaches about the assurance of being children of God, emphasizing the importance of knowing our status as God's children for both our eternal happiness and joy in this life. He contrasts the uncertainty and doubt experienced by many believers today with the unwavering confidence of the apostles like Paul, who knew without a doubt their relationship with God. McGarvey urges believers to turn to the Bible to find a solid foundation for their faith, highlighting the need to align their character with the standards set by the Holy Spirit's testimony to confidently claim their identity as children of God.
