You people should leave Babylon!\par Leave that place!\par \{Priests,\} you carry the things\par that are used in worship.\par So make yourselves pure.\par Don’t touch anything that is not pure.\par
We have been cleansed and made free from feelings of guilt. And our bodies have been washed with pure water. So come near to God with a sincere (true) heart, feeling sure because of our faith.
Those gifts and sacrifices were only about food and drink and special washings. Those things were only rules about the body—\{not about things inside people’s hearts\}. God gave those rules \{for his people to follow\} until the time of God’s new way.
