and concerningrighteousness,becauseI goto the Fatherand you no longerseeMe;
"And he said,The Godof our fathershas appointedyou to knowHis willand to seethe Righteous Oneand to hearan utterancefrom His mouth.
"But you disownedthe Holyand Righteous Oneand askedfor a murdererto be grantedto you,
who was declaredthe Sonof Godwith powerby the resurrectionfrom the dead,accordingto the Spiritof holiness,JesusChristour Lord,
[He] whowas deliveredover becauseof our transgressions,and was raisedbecauseof our justification.

For whatthe Lawcouldnot do, weakas it was throughthe flesh,God[did]: sendingHis ownSonin the likenessof sinfulfleshand [as an offering] for sin,He condemnedsinin the flesh,
Not that we lord it overyour faith,but are workerswith you for your joy;for in your faithyou are standing firm.
