**Word biblical Commentary (William L. Lane)**
“In Hebrews agiosmos, “holiness or sanctification” does not possess an ethical significance. It draws its distinctive nuance from the cultic argument concerning the efficacy of Jesus’ high priestly ministry. It is eschatological in character as the objective gift of Christ achieved through his sacrificial death on the cross. The directive to pursue holiness then means to earnestly to hold firmly the gift of Christ through which believers have been made holy.
