¹ A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

² Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

³ If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

¹⁸ And therefore doth wait Jehovah to favour you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For a God of judgment `is' Jehovah, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him.

¹³ Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly upon the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with your spirit! Amen.

⁶ Only -- goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling `is' in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

⁹ who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,

¹⁴ for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

²⁴ but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

²¹ that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁸ Merciful and gracious `is' Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle `you';

⁴ and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

⁵ even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

⁶ and did raise `us' up together, and did seat `us' together in the heavenly `places' in Christ Jesus,

⁸ for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift,

⁹ not of works, that no one may boast;

¹⁰ for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you all. Amen.

¹³ Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.

¹¹ For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men,

¹² teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

¹³ waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,

¹⁷ And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!

²³ for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

²⁴ being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that `is' in Christ Jesus,

²⁵ whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --

¹⁵ But, not as the offence so also `is' the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;

¹⁴ `For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you -- your Father who `is' in the heavens;

¹⁶ we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace -- for seasonable help.

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!
