⁸ and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

¹³ greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

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.

⁶ For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious;

¹⁸ because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

¹⁰ in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

⁶ All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.

²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,

²⁵ who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

⁷ that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

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

⁸ in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

⁵ And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak)
