The same as that “better sprinkling” in Heb 12:24, intimately linked to the solemn inauguration of the “blood covenant” at Lk 22:20, the Last Supper. Many overlook that that solemn inauguration (the Supper) was offered on Zion, on 14 Nisan (which Jewish tradition holds was the date of Abel and Cain’s sacrifices), allowing the author of Heb to kaleidoscope ...

Wicked people do not want Lord's dominion to encroach upon their habitual dominion of sins and iniquities. λαοί - "pagan people" - here denote those who do not want to live under Lord's commandments, but follow their own ways.

This is one of those problems with people who think the LXX is the English translation of the Greek rather than the Greek itself. E.g. each time you translate, you are replacing one word with a semantic range of its own and picking a different semantic range that overlaps the range of the word.

1sn Now the reference to the commandments (plural) in
15:10 have been reduced to a singular commandment: The
disciples are to love one another, just as Jesus has loved them. This

15:17. The disciples’ love for one another is compared to ...
