And for this end was his Blood shed, even to cleanse us from sin, Tit. 2.14. — He gave himself, (not only to be a Redeemer, to redeem us from Hell, and the guilt of sin: but) to purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works, Ephes. 5.26, 27. — He gave himself for us that he might sanctify us, and cleanse us by the washing of Water, through the Word.
