Comparing Noah’s Salvation and Ours
20 who once were disobedient, when

the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—
through the resurrection of Jesus

good conscience toward God), through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Not a ceremonial cleansing

Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the

drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a
time of reformation. Hebrews 9:9–10

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? Hebrews 9:13–14
