Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: "'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God:

He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How do you read it?"

Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said, you are gods'?

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,

though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,
