“They Shall Perish Also”

Brant Gardner

Verse 31 and 32 are a paired parallel set. The meaning is the same, but simply altering the sense discussed in each verse. By using two stated senses in precise parallel, the lesson expands to cover the general principle rather than just the specifics. Regardless of the nature of our refusal to accept the truth of the gospel, that rejection will condemn us.
