of Hebrews and also to the theme of the book. Further, I Cor. 9: 24; 10: 1-14; Phil. 3:,

and Hebrews as a whole, all dealing with running for a prize, being perfected, becoming a

"castaway" or disqualified by drawing back to "perdition" or "destruction", and the

citizenship, the heavenly city, and inter-related themes, are a stronger witness to the

peculiar teaching and purpose of these epistles than any criticism can overthrow.

studied, may be kept in their right relationship:
