For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

And from Jesus Christ, {who is} the faithful witness, {and} the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son {to be} the propitiation for our sins.

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

For he hath made him {to be} sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Which in his times he shall shew, {who is} the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. {a ransom: or, an atonement}

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. {laid...: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. {on: or, to}

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, {as} silver and gold, from your vain conversation {received} by tradition from your fathers;

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption {for us}.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: {in...: or, for the acknowledgement}

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. {in due time: or, according to the time}

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all {men} unto me.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. {taketh away: or, beareth}

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

None {of them} can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

In whom we have redemption through his blood, {even} the forgiveness of sins:

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. {for the: or, by the}

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Because {there is} wrath, {beware} lest he take thee away with {his} stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. {deliver...: Heb. turn thee aside}

Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. {a ransom: or, an atonement}

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when {thou} numberest them. {their number: Heb. them that are to be numbered}

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I {am} the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Which in his times he shall shew, {who is} the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, {there} shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
