]]> not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit

]]> For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast

]]> For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us[a] to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit

]]> But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

]]> And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment

]]> For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

]]> All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

]]> for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

]]> For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,[a] for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

]]> Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
