Book of Common Prayer

⁷ He, in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was also heard, because of his godliness. ⁸ And though he was God’s Son, yet he learned obedience by those things that he suffered, ⁹ and was made perfect, and the author of eternal salvation for all who obey him, ¹⁰ and is called by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

¹¹ About this we have many things to say, which are hard to explain because you are dull of hearing. ¹² For when as concerning the time you ought to be teachers, yet you need us to again teach you the first principles of the word of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. ¹³ For everyone who is fed with milk is inexpert in the word of righteousness. For he is but a babe. ¹⁴ But strong meat belongs to those who are of full age, who through regular use have their wits exercised to judge both good and evil also.

¹⁶ For God so loves the world that he has given his only Son, so that none who believe in him should perish, but should have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world through him could be saved. ¹⁸ Whoever believes on him shall not be condemned. But whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he does not believe in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation: that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But whoever does truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be known, that they are wrought in God.
