Heb. Paul further declared that
we are strangers and Pilgrims
on the earth. A Pilgrim is a
wouderer, seeking another place

point; Paul offered as the best
proof of his christianity the fact
that he loved the brethren. Did
not Jesus Himself, declare that
ye must love one another2 He
that he loves God whom he has
not seen. and loves not his
