But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;

Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:
