• The stern denunciation we have read is followed by a word of grace and forgiveness, a foreshadowing of what we have in the Gospel today. The “all have sinned” of Romans 3 is followed by justification, freely offered through “His grace”. Only, the cleansing, offered in verse 18, was in its nature a “passing over” of sins “through the forbearance of God”, as stated in Romans 3:25, since the only basis for a cleansing full and eternal lay in the sacrifice of Christ, centuries ahead. (“Isaiah 1” by F.B. Hole)
