Romans 3:25
25whom God offered as a place where atonement by Christ's ▼▼Lit. his
blood could occur through faith. He did this ▼▼The Gk. lacks He did this
to demonstrate his righteousness, because he had waited patiently to deal with sins committed in the past.Lev 16:15; Acts 13:38-39; 17:30; Col 1:20; 1Tim 1:15; Heb 9:15; 1John 2:2; 4:10 Romans 5:6
6For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, ▼▼Or weak
Christ died for the ungodly.Rom 4:25; 5:8 1 Timothy 2:5
5There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and human beings—a human, Christ Jesus.Rom 3:29-30; 10:12; Gal 3:20; Heb 8:6; 9:15 Hebrews 3:1
1Christ Is Superior to MosesTherefore, holy brothers, partners in a heavenly calling, keep your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.Rom 1:7; 15:8; 1Cor 1:2; Eph 4:1; Phil 3:14; 2Thes 1:11; 2Tim 1:9; Heb 2:17; 4:14; 5:5; 6:20; 8:1; 9:11; 10:21; 2Pet 1:10 Hebrews 7:22
22In this way, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.Heb 8:6; 9:15; 12:24 Hebrews 8:6
6However, Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
has now obtained a ministry that is as superior to theirs as the covenant he mediates is founded on better promises.2Cor 3:6, 8-9; Heb 7:22 Hebrews 12:24
24to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than Abel's.Gen 4:10; Exod 24:8; Heb 8:6; 9:15; 10:22; 11:4; 1Pet 1:2 1 Peter 3:18
18For Christ also suffered ▼▼Other mss. read died
for sins once for all, an innocent person for the guilty, so that he could bring you ▼▼Other mss. read us
to God. He was put to death in the sphere of the flesh but was made alive in the sphere of the spirit, ▼▼Or Spirit
