Sorry for my lack of clarity. I realize that hAMARTIAN stands in the
singular, but wonder about the possibility that the author of Hebrews
(Paul or not) refers to individual sins, and not sin in general -- i.e.,
whether the author could mean that each in the readership is to "lay
aside" his or her personal short-coming, instead of meaning that each is
to lay aside sin in general.
Thanks again,
