¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

²³ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

⁸ But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

⁸ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
