 Hebrews - Chapter 13 - Barnes' Notes on the New Testament on StudyLight.org
The apostle had no occasion to reprove them for the want of it, as he had in regard to some to whom he wrote, but he aims merely to impress on them the importance of this virtue, and to caution them against the danger of allowing it ever to be interrupted.
The apostle asserts, without any restriction or qualification, that marriage is honourable in all; and this proves that it is lawful for the ministers of religion to marry, and that the whole doctrine of the superior purity of a state of celibacy is false.
The apostle here appeals to the uprightness of his Christian life as a reason why he might claim their sympathy, he was conscious of an aim to do good; he sought the welfare of the church; and having this aim he felt that he might appeal to the sympathy of all Christians in his behalf.

By ALBERT C. THAT there should have developed a distinctively Negro art in America was natural and inevitable.

 The modernist collector and black modernity, 1914--1934 (Albert Barnes, Ezra Pound, Alain Locke, Nancy Cunard)
Particularly in America, the opportunity and felt obligation to represent and authorize fl culture found a powerful medium in the collection that offered a framework for the production of new knowledge, even as its provisional authority challenged older, canonical epistemologies.
“The Modernist Collector and Black Modernity” studies in their particularity four collectors-Albert Barnes, Ezra Pound, Alain Locke, and Nancy Cunard-who variously attempted to situate fl culture as a central concern of modernity.
This is evident in the arrangement of pieces at the Barnes Foundation, where the collection acts both as the objective basis of Albert Barnes's philosophical method and as an autobiographical memorial of his failure to intervene in American racial discourse.
