1 Peter 1:19
Compare all
17 And if you call on the Father, who awithout partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your1 stay here in fear;  
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with1 corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,  
19 but awith the precious blood of Christ, bas of a lamb without blemish and without spot.  
20 aHe indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was1 manifest bin these last times for you  
21 who through Him believe in God, awho raised Him from the dead and bgave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.  

The Enduring Word

22 Since you ahave purified your souls in obeying the truth1 through the Spirit in sincere blove of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,  
23 ahaving been born again, not of1 corruptible seed but incorruptible, bthrough the word of God which lives and abides3 forever,

1 Peter 1:19

But with precious blood (alla timiw aimati). Instrumental case of aima after elutrwqhte (repeated from verse I Peter 1:18). Peter here applies the old adjective timiov (from timh, of Christ in I Peter 2:7) to Christ as in I Peter 1:7 polutimoteron to testing of faith. The blood of anyone is "precious" (costly), far above gold or silver, but that of Jesus immeasurably more so.

As of a lamb (wv amnou). This word occurs in Leviticus 12:8; Numbers 15:11; Deuteronomy 14:4 of the lamb prescribed for the passover sacrifice (Exodus 12:5). John the Baptist applies it to Jesus (John 1:29, John 1:36). It occurs also in Acts 8:32 quoted from Isaiah 53:7 f. Undoubtedly both the Baptist and Peter have this passage in mind. Elsewhere in the N.T. arnion is used of Christ (Revelation 5:6, Revelation 5:12). Jesus is the Paschal Lamb. Peter sees clearly that it was by the blood of Christ that we are redeemed from sin.

Without blemish (amwmou). Without (alpha privative) spot (mwmov) as the paschal lamb had to be (Leviticus 22:21). So Hebrews 9:14.

Without spot (aspilou). Without (alpha privative) stain (spilov spot) as in James 1:27; II Peter 3:14; 6:14.

Even the blood of Christ (Xristou). Genitive case with aimati, but in unusual position for emphasis and clearness with the participles following.
