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

^18 (A)I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, ^(B)I am alive forevermore. Amen. And ^(C)I have the keys of ^[a]Hades and of Death.

^26 (A)Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His ^(B)glory?”

² looking unto Jesus, the ^[a]author and ^[b]finisher of our faith, ^(A)who for the joy that was set before Him ^(B)endured the cross, despising the shame, and ^(C)has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
