Study Note

The exhortation to 'give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip' introduces one of Hebrews' characteristic warning passages that punctuate the christological argument. The verb 'let them slip' (pararreō) is a nautical term for a ship drifting off course — an apt metaphor for the gradual, unnoticed nature of faith's attrition rather than dramatic apostasy. The a fortiori argument of verse 2-3 (how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation announced by the Lord himself?) establishes that the superior Messenger entails superior accountability. The warning-passages of Hebrews (2:1-4; 3:7-4:13; 5:11-6:12; 10:26-31; 12:25-29) form a pastoral strategy of alternating theological exposition and urgent exhortation.
