⁷⁷ To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins,

³⁴ And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.

⁶ even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:

⁷ `Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered;

⁸ happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.'

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 --

⁴ And Paul said, `John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe -- that is, in the Christ -- Jesus;'

³⁸ `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,

³⁹ and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

⁴³ to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

³¹ this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;

¹⁹ reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

³⁸ and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

²⁷ John answered and said, `A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;

²⁸ ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;

²⁹ he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.

³⁰ `Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;

³¹ he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.

³² `And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;

³³ he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;

³⁴ for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;

³⁵ the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;

³⁶ he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

³⁴ and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'

²⁹ on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

¹⁵ John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'

¹⁶ and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;

¹⁷ for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

⁷ this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

⁸ that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.

⁹ He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;

⁴⁷ therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'

⁴⁸ And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;'

⁴⁹ and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'

⁵⁰ and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'

⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'

³ and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins,

³ `A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' --

⁴ John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins,

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