And if

If we say that there is no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves, and the Truth has no place in us.

Father

And you know that Christ appeared to take away our sins; and in him Sin has no place.

Him who never knew sin God made to be Sin, on our behalf; so that we, through union with him, might become the Righteousness of God.

This was the High Priest that we needed--holy, innocent, spotless, withdrawn from sinners, exalted above the highest Heaven,

He 'never sinned, nor was anything deceitful ever heard from his lips.'

For Christ himself died to atone for sins once for all--the good on behalf of the bad--that he might bring you to God; his body being put to death, but his spirit entering upon new Life.
