Commendeth

And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.

To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.

Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers.

And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.
