geneva@Romans:12:1 @ I beseech (note:)The fourth part of this epistle, which after the finishing of the principal points of Christian doctrine, consists in the declaring of precepts of the Christian life. And first of all he gives general precepts and grounds: the principal of which is this, that every man consecrate himself wholly to the spiritual service of God, and do as it were sacrifice himself, trusting the grace of God.(:note) you therefore, brethren, By this preface he shows that God's glory is the utmost goal of everything we do. by the mercies of God, that ye In times past the sacrifices were presented before the altar: but now the altar is everywhere. present your Yourselves: in times past other bodies besides our own, but now our own must be offered. bodies a In times past, dead sacrifices were offered, but now we must offer those which have the spirit of life in them. living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your Spiritual. reasonable service.

geneva@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now (note:)He begins to entreat of another type of indifferent things, that is, things offered to idols, or the use of flesh so offered and sacrificed. And first of all he removes all those things which the Corinthians pretended in using things offered to idols without any respect. First of all they affirmed that this difference of foods was for the unskilful men, but as for them, they knew well enough the benefit of Christ, which causes all these things to be clean to those that are clean. Be it so, Paul says: even if we are all sufficiently instructed in the knowledge of Christ, I say nonetheless that we must not simply rest in this knowledge. The reason is, that unless our knowledge is tempered with charity, it does not only not avail, but also does much hurt, because it is the mistress of pride. Nay, it does not so much as deserve the name of godly knowledge, if it is separate from the love of God, and therefore from the love of our neighbour.(:note) as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we This general word is to be abridged as (1Co_8:7) appears, for there is a type of taunt in it, as we may perceive by (1Co_8:2). all have knowledge.

geneva@Hebrews:5:1 @ For (note:)The first part of the first comparison of Christ's high priesthood with Aaron's: Other high priests are taken from among men, and are called after the order of men.(:note) every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, The first part of the second comparison: Others though weak, are made high priests, to the end that feeling the same infirmity in themselves which is in all the rest of the people, they should in their own and the peoples name offer gifts and sacrifices, which are witnesses of common faith and repentance. that he may offer both Offering of things without life. gifts and Beasts which were killed, but especially in the sacrifices for sins and offences. sacrifices for sins:

geneva@Hebrews:10:1 @ For (note:)He prevents a private objection. Why then were those sacrifices offered? The apostle answers, first concerning the yearly sacrifice which was the solemnest of all, in which (he says) there was made every year a remembrance again of all former sins. Therefore that sacrifice had no power to sanctify: for to what purpose should those sins which are purged be repeated again, and why should new sins come to be repeated every year, if those sacrifices abolished sin?(:note) the law having a shadow of good things to Of things which are everlasting, which were promised to the fathers, and exhibited in Christ. come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
