17And if ye invoke as Father him who, without regard of persons, judges according to the work of each, pass your time of sojourn in fear, 18knowing that ye have been redeemed, not by corruptible [things, as] silver or gold, from your vain conversation handed down from [your] fathers, but by precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, [the blood] of Christ, 20foreknown indeed before [the] foundation of [the] world, but who has been manifested at the end of times for your sakes, 21who by him do believe on God, who has raised him from among [the] dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should be in God.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19But with the precious blood of Christ - On the use of the word blood, and the reason why the efficacy of the atonement is said to be in the blood, see the notes at Romans 3:25.

The fearless professor is defenceless, and Satan takes him captive at his will…Read the comment

The Greek order is, "With precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish (in itself) and without spot (contracted by contact with others), (even the blood) of Christ." Though very man, He remained pure in Himself ("without blemish"), and uninfected by any impression of sin from without ("without spot"), which would have unfitted Him for being our atoning Redeemer: so the passover lamb, and every sacrificial victim; so…Read the comment
