Isaiah 53:4-6

New International Version

⁴Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(A)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(B)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(C)
⁵But he was pierced^(D) for our transgressions,^(E)
    he was crushed^(F) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(G) that brought us peace^(H) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(I) we are healed.^(J)
⁶We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(K)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(L)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(M) of us all.

1 John 3:1-2

New International Version

3 See what great love^(A) the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!^(B) And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.^(C) ²Dear friends,^(D) now we are children of God,^(E) and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,^[a]^(F) we shall be like him,^(G) for we shall see him as he is.^(H)
