If a Jew asks, What are your sacrifices ? We answer : Our sacrifices con sist in the one matchless sacrifice of Him who was crucified. In this Apodosis, the word xa0ap/£g<r0a/, to be purified, which is to be supplied, makes a Hypallage ;* for the heavenly things are pure in themselves, but we needed to be purified in order that we might enjoy them, ver. 14.
