⁸ But ^(A)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^(B)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(C)from wrath through Him.

⁹ For they themselves declare concerning us ^(A)what manner of entry we had to you, ^(B)and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, ¹⁰ and ^(C)to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us ^(D)from the wrath to come.

⁹ For ^(A)God did not appoint us to wrath, ^(B)but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, ^10 (C)who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
