For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
