1 Simeon[a] Peter, a servant[b] and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who have obtained (A)a faith of equal standing with ours (B)by the righteousness of our (C)God and Savior Jesus Christ:
45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but (A)to serve, and (B)to give his life as a ransom for (C)many.”
19 If in Christ we have hope[a] in this life only, (A)we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But in fact (B)Christ has been raised from the dead, (C)the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 (A)For our sake he made him to be sin (B)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become (C)the righteousness of God.
