Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tou haimatos panton {ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος πάντων | a-pó toû haí-ma-tos pán-ton} employs apo with the genitive to denote separation from liability. The metaphor of blood as guilt resonates with Ezekiel’s watchman imagery, reinforcing Paul’s assertion of unqualified innocence concerning the spiritual well-being of everyone.
