⁹ For to this end Christ died and lived `again', that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

¹⁷ (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, `even' God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear instruction `Only' to err from the words of knowledge.

²⁴ Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?

¹⁰ Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

¹⁴ For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.

¹⁵ And if indeed they had been mindful of that `country' from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.

¹⁶ But now they desire a better `country', that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.
