Thematic Bible: Ceremonial abolished in Christ


Thematic Bible



destroying the enmity in his flesh, even the law of precepts, in ordinances, that he might from the two create in himself one new man, making peace,

and hath blotted out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was the obstacle to us, and took it from the midst, nailing it to the cross;

For there is indeed an abrogation of the preceding command, because of its weakness and inutility.

In calling it a new covenant, he hath made the first antiquated. Now what is antiquated and grown aged, is near evanescence.

NOW the law, having a shadow of the good things which were to come, not the very substance of the things, cannot possibly, by the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those perfect who approach [God];

Now this word yet once more manifests the removal of the things shaken, as of things formed, that the things not shaken may endure.
