it. TLB

Lev 9:2 and told Aaron to take a bull calf from the herd for a sin offering,

Ezek 43:23 When you have finished this cleansing ceremony, offer another
perfect bullock and a perfect ram from the flock. TLB

Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God
1 Peter 1:18 God paid a ransom to save you from the impossible road to heaven
which your fathers tried to take, and the ransom he paid was not mere gold
or silver as you very well know. 19 But he paid for you with the precious
lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. TLB
Our bodies a living, holy, sacrifice to God
Rom 6:13 Do not let any part of your bodies become tools of wickedness, to
be used for sinning; but give yourselves completely to God-every part of
you-for you are back from death and you want to be tools in the hands of
God, to be used for his good purposes. TLB
Rom 12:1 And so, dear brothers, I plead with you to give your bodies to God.
Let them be a living sacrifice, holy-the kind he can accept. When you think
of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask? TLB
Eph 5:25 And you husbands, show the same kind of love to your wives as Christ
showed to the Church when he died for her, 26 to make her holy and clean,
washed by baptism and God's Word; 27 so that he could give her to himself
as a glorious Church without a single spot or wrinkle or any other blemish,
being holy and without a single fault. TLB
Sexual sin & our bodies
1 Cor 6:13 But sexual sin is never right: our bodies were not made for that
but for the Lord, and the Lord wants to fill our bodies with himself. 14
And God is going to raise our bodies from the dead by his power just as he
raised up the Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Don't you realize that your bodies are
actually parts and members of Christ? So should I take part of Christ and
join him to a prostitute? Never! 16 And don't you know that if a man joins
himself to a prostitute she becomes a part of him and he becomes a part of
her? For God tells us in the Scripture that in his sight the two become one
person. 17 But if you give yourself to the Lord, you and Christ are joined
together as one person.
18 That is why I say to run from sex sin. No other sin affects the body as
this one does. When you sin this sin it is against your own body. 19 Haven't
you yet learned that your body is the home of the Holy Spirit God gave you,
and that he lives within you? Your own body does not belong to you. 20 For
God has bought you with a great price. So use every part of your body to
give glory back to God because he owns it. TLB
Our bodies have been washed with pure water
Heb 10:22 let us go right in to God himself, with true hearts fully trusting
him to receive us because we have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make
us clean and because our bodies have been washed with pure water. TLB
