²⁵ Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.

⁶ For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers. ⁷ Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life. ⁸ But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us. ⁹ Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him. ¹⁰ For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

¹⁵ Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things; ¹⁶ For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him; ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things have being. ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place. ¹⁹ For God in full measure was pleased to be in him; ²⁰ Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.

⁶ And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship. ⁷ And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire: ⁸ But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness. ⁹ You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you. ¹⁰ You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands: ¹¹ They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe; ¹² They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

⁵ So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me; ⁶ You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin. ⁷ Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God as it is said of me in the roll of the book. ⁸ After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin which are made by the law and you had no pleasure in them, ⁹ Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place. ¹⁰ By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

¹⁸ Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction, ¹⁹ But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ: ²⁰ Who was marked out by God before the making of the world, but was caused to be seen in these last times for you,

²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well. ²⁵ Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

⁴ And at the coming of the chief Keeper of the sheep, you will be given the eternal crown of glory.

² He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.

⁹ And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. ¹⁰ And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

⁸ And all who are on the earth will give him worship, everyone whose name has not been from the first in the book of life of the Lamb who was put to death.

⁶ And he said to me, It is done. I am the First and the Last, the start and the end. I will freely give of the fountain of the water of life to him who is in need.

¹³ I am the First and the Last, the start and the end. ¹⁴ A blessing on those whose robes are washed, so that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may go in by the doors into the town. ¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, and those who make use of evil powers, those who make themselves unclean, and the takers of life, and those who give worship to images, and everyone whose delight is in what is false. ¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give witness to you of these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.
