What can be said, though, of a situation in which the Mosaic Law required a sin offering or a guilt offering from an individual because of some shortcoming on his part?
فَقَدْ يَعْتَذِرُ بِصِدْقٍ إِلَى أَخِيهِ أَوْ يَطْلُبُ ٱلْمُسَاعَدَةَ ٱلرُّوحِيَّةَ مِنَ ٱلنُّظَّارِ ٱلْمَسِيحِيِّينَ ٱلْمُحِبِّينَ إِذَا كَانَ خَطَأُهُ خَطِيرًا .‏
