²³ for all ^[a](A)have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

¹⁹ Therefore ^(A)repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that ^(B)times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

²¹ solemnly ^(A)testifying to both Jews and Greeks of ^(B)repentance toward God and ^(C)faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Made Alive in Christ

2 And ^[a]you ^[b]were ^(A)dead ^[c]in your offenses and sins, ² in which you ^(B)previously walked according to the ^[d]course of ^(C)this world, according to ^(D)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^(E)the ^[e]sons of disobedience. ³ Among them ^[f]we too all ^(F)previously lived in ^(G)the lusts of our flesh, ^[g]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^[h]mind, and were ^(H)by nature ^(I)children of wrath, ^(J)just as the rest.

⁸ For ^(A)by grace you have been saved ^(B)through faith; and ^[a]this is not of yourselves, it is ^(C)the gift of God; ^9 (D)not a result of works, so that ^(E)no one may boast.

² and He Himself is ^(A)the ^[a]propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also ^(B)for the sins of the whole world.

¹⁶ “For God so ^(A)loved the world, that He ^(B)gave His ^(C)only Son, so that everyone who ^(D)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

²⁸ “^(A)Come to Me, all ^[a]who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

¹⁷ The ^(A)Spirit and the ^(B)bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And ^(C)let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires, take the ^(D)water of life without cost.
