¹⁸ Therefore, as one trespass^[a] led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness^[b] leads to justification and life for ^(A)all men. ¹⁹ For as by the one man's ^(B)disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's ^(C)obedience the many will be made righteous.

⁹ And they sang ^(A)a new song, saying,

^24 (A)He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we ^(B)might die to sin and ^(C)live to righteousness. ^(D)By his wounds you have been healed.

¹⁸ For Christ also ^(A)suffered^{[a] (B)}once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, ^(C)that he might bring us to God, being put to death ^(D)in the flesh but made alive ^(E)in the spirit,

^3 (A)And this is eternal life, ^(B)that they know you, ^(C)the only ^(D)true God, and ^(E)Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

^27 (A)“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, ^(B)save me from ^(C)this hour’? But ^(D)for this purpose I have come to ^(E)this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify your name.” Then ^(F)a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” ²⁹ The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, ^(G)“An angel has spoken to him.” ³⁰ Jesus answered, ^(H)“This voice has come for your sake, not mine. ^31 (I)Now is the judgment of this world; now will ^(J)the ruler of this world ^(K)be cast out. ³² And I, ^(L)when I am lifted up from the earth, ^(M)will draw ^(N)all people to myself.”

Christ Our Advocate

2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, ^(A)we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
