If the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?1 |
He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter.2 – I lay down my life for the sheep. … No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.3 |
The life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.4 – Without shedding of blood is no remission.5 |
While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.6 |
