Ephesians 5:2

‘Its entrails, however, and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer up in smoke all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

He who was delivered over on account of our transgressions, and was raised on account of our justification.

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

For if because of food your brother is grieved, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

for me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and manifests through us the aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him in love,

Therefore look carefully how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
