“I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
