'Ransom' in the Bible

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].”

For what will a man give in exchange for his soul and eternal life [in God’s kingdom]?

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation], and righteousness [making us acceptable to God], and sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin],

so that He might redeem and liberate those who were under the Law, that we [who believe] might be adopted as sons [as God’s children with all rights as fully grown members of a family].

who gave Himself as a ransom [a substitutionary sacrifice to atone] for all, the testimony given at the right and proper time.
