In the New Testament four terms are used for innocent. The first means unmixed or pure (Matthew 10:16; Philippians 2:15 ); the second, free from (Matthew 27:4 ,Matthew 27:4,27:24 ); the third, just, righteous, or upright (Matthew 23:35; Luke 23:47 ); and the fourth, clean or pure (Acts 18:6; Acts 20:26 ). Innocence is always relative to some standard. Paul declared his innocence with respect to the demands of the law (Philippians 3:6 ). Only Christ, however, is absolutely pure (Romans 3:9-18; 2 Corinthians 5:21 ). Christ presents believers as holy and blameless before God (Colossians 1:22; Ephesians 5:27; 1 Corinthians 1:8; 1 Thessalonians 5:23 ).
