He is a pattern of the One to come.But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand.

Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.I, yes I, am the Lord, and there is no Savior but Me.I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”Thus says the Lord your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring them all as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:“Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.So I will disgrace the princes of your sanctuary, and I will devote Jacob to destruction and Israel to reproach.”For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.

Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
I will sing of the loving devotion of the Lord forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.
Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this.
