^7 (A)‘If he is not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord, for his trespass which he has committed, two ^(B)turtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.

^8 (A)‘And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons—one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering. ^(B)So the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be ^[a]clean.’ ”

Persecutions Are Coming^(A)

^16 (B)“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. ^(C)Therefore be wise as serpents and ^(D)harmless^[a] as doves.

³¹ such as he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the Lord.

²¹ “But ^(A)if he is poor and cannot afford it, then he shall take one male lamb as a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, ^[a]one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, a log of oil, ^22 (B)and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford: one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

⁸ And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and ^(A)wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it ^[a]completely. ⁹ Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the ^(B)rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren: ^(A)Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be ^(B)rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom ^(C)which He promised to those who love Him? ⁶ But ^(D)you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you ^(E)and drag you into the courts?

⁸ Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), ⁹ then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, ^[a]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. ^10 (A)By that will we have been ^[b]sanctified ^(B)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹² For ^(A)if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.
