⁶ who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;

¹⁵ which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, 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 served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

³ but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;

⁴ But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to 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 you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ;

²⁴ who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

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

¹ My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor{Greek Parakleton: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, and Comfortor.} with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.

² And he is the atoning sacrifice{"atoning sacrifice" is from the Greek "hilasmos," an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation-- the sacrifice that turns away God's wrath because of our sin.} for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice{"atoning sacrifice" is from the Greek "hilasmos," an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation-- the sacrifice that turns away God's wrath because of our sin.} for our sins.

¹¹ The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹² He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood;

⁹ They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

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

⁸ Therefore don't be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Gospel according to the power of God,

¹⁰ when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁴⁵ For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

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

⁶ For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

²⁶ {See Romans 14:23}

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

¹⁵ He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

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

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

¹⁰ to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

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

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

² Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

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