The hand of Jehovah was upon me and brought me out by the Spirit of Jehovah, and made me rest in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.

And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? So I answered, O Lord Jehovah, You know.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a shaking; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

Then He said to me, Prophesy to the spirit; prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.

Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.

for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

It was right that we should make merry and rejoice, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.

And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For the love of Christ holds us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them and rose again.

And you being dead in trespasses and sins,

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

Therefore He says: Awake, you who sleep, stand forth out from among the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the rudiments concerning Christ, let us move along to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Thus also faith, if it does not have works, being alone, is dead.

But are you willing to understand, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead also.

Therefore remember that you, being Gentiles in the flesh; who are called uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision made in the flesh by hands;

who has shown me great and evil distresses. You will revive me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your Word has revived me.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives life, even so the Son gives life to whom He wills.

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh does not profit; not a thing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

(as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations) in the presence of Him whom he believed; God, who makes the dead alive and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

And so it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a life- giving Spirit.

who also made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit makes alive.

I charge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

i1 [A Psalm of David. Maschil.] i0 par Blessed is the man whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

And they shall no more teach each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.

Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this One is preached to you the remission of sins;

and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.

that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will give My Laws into their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will by no means remember any longer.

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from every sin.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you through His name.
