²⁷ Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ^(A)“Drink from it, all of you. ²⁸ For ^(B)this is My blood ^(C)of the ^[a]new covenant, which is shed ^(D)for many for the ^[b]remission of sins.

³⁸ Then Peter said to them, ^(A)“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the ^[a]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

^7 (A)In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to ^(B)the riches of His grace

²² And according to the law almost all things are ^[a]purified with blood, and ^(A)without shedding of blood there is no ^[b]remission.

²⁶ He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

^25 (A)who was delivered up because of our offenses, and ^(B)was raised because of our justification.

Faith Triumphs in Trouble

5 Therefore, ^(A)having been justified by faith, ^[a]we have ^(B)peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

²¹ so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²³ For ^(A)the wages of sin is death, but ^(B)the ^[a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
