Dead

Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; you must go and spread the news of the Kingdom of God!"

for my son here was dead, and he has come to life; he was lost, and he is found!' So they began to celebrate.

The uncircumcision

The Spirit is what gives life; flesh is of no use at all. The things that I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

Having

'For this is the agreement that I will make with the house of Israel, In those later days,' says the Lord; 'I will put my laws into their minds, And write them on their hearts, And they will have me for their God, And I will have them for my people.

But if we live in the light, just as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.

I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven for his sake.
