The foundation of this kingly power is in two things: first, He has perfected men for ever by His one offering; second, He has put the law of God into the hearts of His people. The final conclusion is that the sacrifices of the Law have passed away, because they are no longer needed. “For where there is forgiveness, there is no more an offering for sin.” FOOTNOTES: [142] κεφάλαιον (viii. 1).

[179] To forestall censure for inconsistency, the present writer may be permitted to refer to what he now sees to have been a desperate attempt on his part (in the _Expositor_) to explain the passage on the supposition that the word διαθήκη means “covenant” throughout. He is bound to admit that the attempt was a failure. If he lives to write retractations, this will be one. [180] αἱματεκχυσίας (ix. 22). [181] Chap. viii. 5. [182] ἀλλοτρίῳ (ix. 25).
