Heidelberg clearly balanced the 3 offices and inculcated them into One calling without any deficit whatsoever.
Some scriptures illustrating these claims are in: [1] Isaiah 9:6-7. [2] 1 Corinthians 12; 8-11. [3] 1 Peter 2; 9.
[4] Luke 4; 18, and many more scriptures in the Bible.

The structure and outline of Heidelberg is about the guilt, the Grace and the gratitude . Is about the faithful Saviour,Jesus Christ and Gods grace for salvation.
It strikes me about Gods salvation to all mankind . He believe in God, the Father almighty, restored of heaven and earth
His belief:
A. That I am not my own,<sup>1</sup> but belong—body and soul, in life and in death<sup>2</sup>—to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.<sup>3</sup>
He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,<sup>4</sup> and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.<sup>5</sup> He also watches over me in such a way<sup>6</sup> that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven;<sup>7</sup> in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.<sup>8</sup>
Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life<sup>9</sup> and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.<sup>10</sup>
<sup>1</sup> 1 Cor. 6:19-20
<sup>2</sup> Rom. 14:7-9
<sup>3</sup> 1 Cor. 3:23; Titus 2:14
<sup>4</sup> 1 Pet. 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7-9; 2:2. Three things: first, how great my sin and misery are;<sup>1</sup> second, how I am set free from all my sins and misery;<sup>2</sup> third, how I am to thank God for such deliverance.<sup>3</sup>
<sup>1</sup> Rom. 3:9-10; 1 John 1:10
<sup>2</sup> John 17:3; Acts 4:12; 10:43
