But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those who are with him are called chosen and faithful.”

He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect,

The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
