For so you have the true end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured.

Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives,

For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.

And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?
