for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick; who can understand it?

As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one;"

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

... “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved ..."

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
