Hebrews 10:3

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

But - So far from those sacrifices purging from consciousness of sins 4:2) But - So far from those sacrifices purging from consciousness of sins 4:2).

In ... - in the fact of their being offered, and during the offering. Contrast Hebrews 10:17.

A remembrance - a recalling to mind by the high priest's confession, on the day of atonement, of the sins of each past year and of all former years, proving that the sacrifices of former years were not felt by men's consciences to have fully atoned for sins; in fact, the expiation and remission were only legal and typical (Hebrews 10:4; Hebrews 10:11). There was no true atonement until Christ died: the repeated sacrifices kept vividly before believers the promised Redeemer, through whom alone their consciences had peace. The Gospel remission is so complete, that sins are 'remembered no more' (Hebrews 10:17) by God. It is unbelief to "forget" this, once for all purgation, and to fear because of 'former sins' (2 Peter 1:9). The believer, once for all bathed [ leloumenos (G3068)], needs only to "wash" [ nipsasthai (G3538)] his hands and "feet" of soils, daily contracted, in Christ's blood (John 13:10).
