總結:This study examines how the author of Hebrews uses the motif of empathy to achieve his rhetorical goals and it demonstrates that, in line with the use of exemplars and pathos in Greco-Roman and Jewish rhetoric, the author not only cites exemplars of empathy for emulation, he also arouses his audience's empathy as a catalyst to induce them to help fellow believers who are suffering due to their faith in Christ. These rhetorical effects are key to not only maintaining the individual's faithfulness to God, but also creating community support for maintaining each other's faithfulness to God when facing persecution.
