because the sun’s light failed. The curtain of the sanctuary was split down the middle.

“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Father,
the hour has come.
Glorify Your Son
so that the Son may glorify You,

For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin,

since a person who has died is freed from sin’s claims.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am made out of flesh, sold into sin’s power.

What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin’s domain, and as a sin offering,

For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

But the Scripture has imprisoned everything under sin’s power, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I also may be encouraged when I hear news about you.

Publicly rebuke those who sin, so that the rest will also be afraid.

But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception.
