²⁸ even as the Son of Man came not to be served but ^(A)to serve, and ^(B)to give his life as a ransom for ^(C)many.”

For God So Loved the World

¹⁶ “For ^(A)God so loved ^(B)the world,^{[a] (C)}that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not ^(D)perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For ^(E)God did not send his Son into the world ^(F)to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ^18 (G)Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not ^(H)believed in the name of the only Son of God.

²⁰ Therefore, ^(A)we are ambassadors for Christ, ^(B)God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ^21 (C)For our sake he made him to be sin ^(D)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^(E)the righteousness of God.

²⁵ Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost^{[a] (A)}those who draw near to God ^(B)through him, since he always lives ^(C)to make intercession for them.

²⁶ For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, ^(D)holy, innocent, unstained, ^(E)separated from sinners, and ^(F)exalted above the heavens. ²⁷ He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, ^(G)first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this ^(H)once for all when he offered up himself.
