Then the multitude answered him, We have heard from the law that the Christ continues forever; and how say you, The Son of man must be raised on high? Who is this Son of man?

I tell you from this time, before it occurs, that when it occurs you may believe that I am [the Christ].

PAUL, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart to the gospel of God,??2 which he promised by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,??3 concerning his Son born of the posterity of David as to the flesh,

For when we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the wicked;

but God commends his love to us, that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us;

that as sin reigned in death, so the grace shall reign through righteousness in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized in Christ were baptized in his death?

And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no longer a lordship over him.

So also account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life by Christ Jesus our Lord.
