Epistle of Barnabas 5
1
For to this end the Lord endured to deliver up His flesh to corruption, that we might be sanctified through the remission of sins, which is effected by His blood of sprinkling.
2
For the scripture concerning Him containeth some things relating to Israel, and some things relating to us. And it speaketh thus: He was wounded for our transgressions, and He hath been bruised for our sins; by His stripes we were healed.
3
As a sheep He was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb He is dumb before his shearer.
4
We ought therefore to be exceedingly thankful unto the Lord, for that He both declared unto us things that are past, and made us wise in things that are present, and as to things that are to come, we are not without understanding.
5
Now the scripture saith: Not unjustly are nets spread for the birds. He meaneth this: a man deservedly perisheth, who having knowledge of the way of righteousness forceth himself into the way of darkness.
6
And moreover, my brethren: if the Lord endured to suffer for our soul, He being Lord of all the world, to whom God said at the foundation of the world: Let us make man after our image and likeness — understand how it was that He endured to suffer at the hand of men.
