“Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.”
But deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation (apokatastasis) — the Levitical law regulated externals (brōmata, drinks, ablutions) without touching the spiritual core of human sinfulness. These regulations were imposed until (mechri) the time of reformation: Christ's arrival marks the eschatological reshaping (apokatastasis) of all things, beginning with the removal of external barriers to God.
