whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --

knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;

for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?

whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.

hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
