5:11–6:20 After beginning to discuss Jesus’ appointment as High Priest (5:1-10), the author confronts his audience with a series of exhortations (5:11–6:20). Such a shift in a sermon or discourse was meant to focus the hearers’ attention. 5:11–6:3 This exhortation deals with the recipients’ spiritual lethargy. 5:11 spiritually dull: The Greek term means “sluggish, dimwitted, negligent, lazy.”
