American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
And the child grew, and waxed strong, {Greek: becoming full of wisdom.}filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and {Greek: unto the day of eternity. Ecclus. 18:10}for ever. Amen.
Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that {Or, believeth not}obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.
even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together {Some ancient authorities read in Christ.}with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
Being therefore justified {Greek: out of.}by faith, {Many ancient authorities read let us have.}we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
for all {Greek: sinned.}have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Because Christ also {Many ancient authorities read died.}suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
Make me to hear joy and gladness,That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Howbeit what things were {Greek: gains.}gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
