And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: As elsewhere, love follows faith and hope: the Pauline triad of graces.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Hebrews 10:24

Having urged from the gospel doctrine of our High Priest our duty to God, the Spirit proceeds to show what influence it should have on Christians for performing their duty one to another, in their inspection and observation of the whole body of Christ, consisting of Jew and Gentile, who have equally shared in Christ’ s sacrifice, and are interested in and related to is his person; and by the apprehensive and judicial faculty so to discern the spiritual state and condition of each other, and the whole, as every particular member of it may be capable to animadvert, exhort, reprove, counsel, or comfort, and act suitably and seasonably in the discharge of their mutual duty, 15:7,14 Colossians 3:16 ,15. To provoke unto love; eiv parozusmon it is a word borrowed from physicians, who use it to set out the violent incursion of a fever, when the fit is so strong as to make the body tremble and bed shake with the horror and rigour of it. In this place it is used to set out the vehemency of affection to which the sacrifice of Christ obligeth Christians, as those who had their whole persons acted by love to each other, with all vehemency, to the highest and fullest pitch of it; as who should exceed in benevolence, beneficence, and complacency in each other, such as is conscientious, pure, and extensive to the very end, ,20 ; and manifesting itself in good works to them, especially merciful ones, pitying, counselling, succouring, supplying, and comforting them, ,15,16 ,16-18 and this freely, cheerfully, and constantly, 4:32 .

Trapp's Commentary on Hebrews 10:24

24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Ver. 24. And let us consider] Christians must study one another’ s cases, the causes and cure of their spiritual distempers, solicitous of their welfare. To provoke unto love] To whet on, as Deuteronomy 6:7, to sharpen and extimulate, as Proverbs 27:17, to rouse and raise up their dull spirits, as 2 Peter 2:13, to set an edge on one another, as boars whet their tusks one against another, saith Nazianzen, ωςυωνοδοντεςαλληλουςθηξαντες.~

Ellicott's Commentary on Hebrews 10:24

(24) Gradually the writer passes from that which belongs to the individual (Hebrews 10:19-20) to the mutual duties of members of a community. Possibly he knew that amongst those whom he addresses there had existed “provocations” that did not tend towards brotherly love. The strict meaning may simply be—let us take note of one another, to stimulate one another to good works; but in the result, if not in the expression, is included the converse thought, “that we may ourselves be thus provoked.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Hebrews 10:24

Verse 24. And let us consider one another] κατανοωμεν. Let us diligently and attentively consider each other's trials, difficulties, and weaknesses; feel for each other, and excite each other to an increase of love to God and man; and, as the proof of it, to be fruitful in good works. The words ειςπαροξυσμον, to the provocation, are often taken in a good sense, and signify excitement, stirring up, to do any thing laudable, useful, honourable, or necessary. Xenophon, Cyrop., lib. vi., page 108, speaking of the conduct of Cyrus towards his officers, says: καιΚαιτουτουςεπαινωντε, παρωξυνε, καιχαριζομενοςαυτοιςὁτιδυναιτο. "He by praises and gifts excited them as much as possible." See the note on "Acts 15:39", where the subject is farther considered.

Cambridge Bible on Hebrews 10:24

24. to provoke unto love] “For provocation to love.” The word paroxusmos (whence our “paroxysm”) is more generally used in a bad sense, like the English word “provocation” (see Acts 15:39; Deuteronomy 29:28; LXX.). And perhaps the writer here chose the word to remind them that the “provocation” at present prevailing among them was to hatred not to love.

Barnes' Notes on Hebrews 10:24
