natural state of bodily existence in this life, spoken of as “the image of the earthy,” and

souls?”; (b) “to take away what is attached to anything, to remove,” as of Christ, in taking
(or “bearing,” marg.) away the sin of the world, John 1:29; Christ “was manifested to
take away sins,” 1 John 3:5, where, not the nature of the Atonement is in view, but its
effect in the believer’s life. See
