1 Tim. 1. 15. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. 2. Tim. i.. 9, 10. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. Tit. i. 4. For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared unto all men. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ii. 11 to 14.

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but y his own blood he entered in once into the noly place, having obtained eternal redemption> or us. And for this cause, he is the mediator of the new testament; that by means of Heath, for the redemption of the transgressions. hat were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal nheritance. ix. 12; 15. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

He was taken from prison and from judge-And who shall declare his generation ? for he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, because he had done no violence; neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his made-int 8 to 12.

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of art to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ught not Christ to have suffered these things, d to enter into his glory?

I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd veth his life for the sheep. As the Father noweth me, even so know I the Father, and I y down my life for the sheep. Therefore doth y Father love me because I lay down my life, hat I might take it again. No man taketh it om me; but I lay it down of myself. I have Ower to lay it down, and I have power to take again. John x. 11; 13; 15; 17, 18. commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, much more than being now justified by his blood we shall be saved from wrath through him.
