A comparison of verse 1 with verse 14 in the structure shows that what the law could

not do, Christ has done. Its many offerings could not perfect for ever; His one offering

does. There is, further, another connection established which we hope to enquire into in

some future paper; "those that draw nigh" in 10: 1 are balanced by "them that are

sanctified" in 10: 14. Initial salvation in not in the scope of Hebrews, but rather, the

perfecting of saint is in view.
