For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins,
chosen according to the foreknowledge of Elohim the Father, set apart by the Spirit unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of יהושע Messiah: Favour and peace be increased to you.
