⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony `to be borne' in its own times;

¹⁵ which in its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

²⁸ even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

³ but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

⁴ but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

¹² nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹⁸ knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, `even the blood' of Christ:

²⁴ who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

¹ My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

² and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son `to be' the propitiation for our sins.

¹¹ And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹² He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, `who is' the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood;

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood `men' of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

⁸ Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁴⁵ For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.

¹⁵ even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

⁶ For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.

²⁶ but now is manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known unto all the nations unto obedience of faith:

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;

¹⁵ and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.

²¹ Him who knew no sin he made `to be' sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

⁷ in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

⁹ making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

¹⁰ unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, `I say,'

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

⁵ which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

² and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

²⁴ Then `God' is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.
