earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Jesus

THE book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit upon his throne;

From this man's seed according to the promise hath God raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; made from the seed of David after the flesh,

And one of the presbyters said unto me, Weep not: behold the lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed, to open the book, and to break the seven seals upon it.

Raised

and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day

whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.

NOW I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I have preached unto you, and which ye have received, in which also ye have stood fast;

According

in the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, according to my gospel by Jesus Christ.

Now to him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, agreeable to the revelation of the mystery; which was concealed from all former ages,

whereunto also he called you by our gospel, in order to your acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been put in trust.

of which I am ordained a preacher and apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not,) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
