Now, however, that grace has been revealed through the coming of our Savior the Messiah Jesus, who has destroyed death and through the gospel has brought life and release from death into full view.

With the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us, protect the good treasure that has been entrusted to you.

For that reason, I endure everything for the sake of those who have been chosen so that they, too, may receive the salvation that is in the Messiah Jesus, along with eternal glory.

so that they might escape from the Devil's snare, even though they've been held captive by him to do his will.
