¹⁷ For ^(A)God did not send his Son into the world ^(B)to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

²⁴ I told you that you ^(A)would die in your sins, for ^(B)unless you believe that ^(C)I am he you will die in your sins.”

⁸ For ^(A)by grace you have been saved ^(B)through faith. And this is ^(C)not your own doing; ^(D)it is the gift of God, ^9 (E)not a result of works, ^(F)so that no one may boast.

¹⁷ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and ^(A)you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then those also who ^(B)have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in Christ we have hope^[a] in this life only, ^(C)we are of all people most to be pitied.
