Redeem

Tell me this, you who want to be subject to law: Will you not listen to the Law?

Christ ransomed us from the Law's curse by taking our curse upon himself (for the Scripture says, "Cursed be anyone who is hung on a tree")

just as the Son of Man has come not to be waited on, but to wait on other people, and to give his life to ransom many others."

"Blessings on the Lord, the God of Israel, Because he has turned his attention to his people, and brought about their deliverance,

Take care of yourselves and of the whole flock, of which the holy Spirit has made you guardians, and be shepherds of the church of God, which he got at the cost of his own life.

It is through union with him and through his blood that we have been delivered and our offenses forgiven,

and lead loving lives, just as Christ loved you and gave himself for you, as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us into the realm of his dear Son,

He gave himself for us, to free us from all wickedness and purify for himself a people of his own, eager to do right.

He is the reflection of God's glory, and the representation of his being, and bears up the universe by his mighty word. He has effected man's purification from sin, and has taken his seat on high at the right hand of God's Majesty,

taking with him no blood of goats and calves, but his own, and secured our permanent deliverance.

for you know that you have not been ransomed with anything perishable like silver or gold, from the futile way of living in which you were brought up,

For Christ himself died once for all, for sin, an upright man for unrighteous men, to bring us to God, and was physically put to death, but he was made alive in the Spirit.

Then they sang a new song: "You deserve to take the roll and open its seals, for you have been slaughtered, and with your blood have bought for God men from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation,

They were singing a new song before the throne and the four animals and the elders, and no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been ransomed from the earth.

That we

So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir, made so by God.

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through your faith.

But to all who did receive him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God,

For creation is waiting with eager longing for the sons of God to be disclosed.

For they are Israelites, and to them belong the rights of sonship, God's glorious presence, the divine agreements and legislation, the Temple service, the promises,

He foreordained us to become his sons through Jesus Christ, in fulfilment of his generous purpose,
