²⁸ For this is my blood of the covenant,^[a] which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.^(A)

⁹ How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood,^(A) will we be saved through him from wrath.^(B)

⁸ For you are saved by grace^(A) through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— ⁹ not from works, so that no one can boast.

¹⁸ For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life^(A) inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold,^{(B) 19} but with the precious blood of Christ,^(C) like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb.^(D)

⁷ If we walk in the light^(A) as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus^(B) his Son cleanses us from all sin.
