Christ in Our Place

⁶ For when we were still without strength, ^[a]in due time ^(A)Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. ⁸ But ^(B)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 ^(C)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(D)from wrath through Him. ¹⁰ For ^(E)if when we were enemies ^(F)we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved ^(G)by His life. ¹¹ And not only that, but we also ^(H)rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

²³ For ^(A)the wages of sin is death, but ^(B)the ^[a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Last Enemy Destroyed

²⁰ But now ^(A)Christ is risen from the dead, and has become ^(B)the firstfruits of those who have ^[a]fallen asleep. ²¹ For ^(C)since by man came death, ^(D)by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. ²² For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall ^(E)be made alive.

Let Truth Abide in You

²⁴ Therefore let that abide in you ^(A)which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, ^(B)you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. ^25 (C)And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.
