He removed the high places, and broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and the bronze serpent which Moses made, because until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.

And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [peoples] to Myself."

For what [was] impossible [for] the law to do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Turn to Me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth; I am God, and there is none other.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon Me, because they have mocked Me, and they shall make lamentation for Him, as for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn son.

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

looking unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured [the] cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

He who practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

But [the] law came in alongside, so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace superabounded,

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
