301 B

He blotted out the written record of debts that was hostile to us

Paul speaks of the way God forgives our sins as if it were the way a person, to whom many people owe money or goods, destroys the record of that debt so they do not have to pay him back. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
