Study Note
Paul's compressed christological statement — Christ 'gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people' — packs atonement, sanctification, and ecclesiology into a single sentence. The phrase 'peculiar people' (laos periousios) echoes Exodus 19:5's 'treasured possession,' deliberately applying Israel's covenant identity to the new community in Christ. The purpose clause ('zealous of good works') makes the point that redemption is not merely forensic but transformative — liberation from lawlessness issues in a life oriented toward doing good. This verse is foundational for 'already/not yet' theologies of sanctification and for arguments that ethics flows from the shape of the atonement.
