⁹ For to this end Christ ^(A)died and lived again, that he might be Lord both ^(B)of the dead and of the living.

¹⁸ and the living one. ^(A)I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and ^(B)I have the keys of Death and Hades.

^26 (A)Was it not necessary that ^(B)the Christ should suffer these things and enter into ^(C)his glory?”

² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, ^(A)who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising ^(B)the shame, and ^(C)is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

^22 (A)For the Father judges no one, but ^(B)has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all may honor the Son, just as they ^(C)honor the Father. ^(D)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

²⁰ that he worked in Christ ^(A)when he raised him from the dead and ^(B)seated him at his right hand ^(C)in the heavenly places, ^21 (D)far above ^(E)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above ^(F)every name that is named, not only in ^(G)this age but also in the one to come. ²² And ^(H)he put all things under his feet and gave him as ^(I)head over all things to the church, ^23 (J)which is his body, ^(K)the fullness of him ^(L)who fills ^(M)all in all.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ ^(A)controls us, because we have concluded this: that ^(B)one has died for all, therefore all have died;
