The Ascension

⁹ And after He had said these things, ^(A)He was lifted up while they were watching, and a cloud took Him up, out of their sight.

³⁴ who is the one who ^(A)condemns? Christ Jesus is He who ^(B)died, but rather, was ^[a](C)raised, who is ^(D)at the right hand of God, who also ^(E)intercedes for us.

²⁵ Therefore He is also able to ^(A)save ^[a]forever those who ^(B)come to God through Him, since He always lives to ^(C)make intercession for them.

Christ Is Our Advocate

2 ^(A)My little children, I am ^(B)writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, ^(C)we have an ^[a](D)Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; ² and He Himself is ^(E)the ^[b]propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also ^(F)for the sins of the whole world.
