Since you call
on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your
time as foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not
with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed
from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but
with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
but with the precious blood of Christ
Romans 3:25a God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood--to be received by faith.
Romans 5:9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
Ephesians 1:7-8a In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us.
Hebrews 9:12 He did not enter by the means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered by the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
a lamb without blemish or defect
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"
Exodus 12:5 "The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats."
