He has destroyed ¹  what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness ²  expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.

because he taught them like one who had authority, ¹  not like their experts in the law. ² 

Disarming ¹  the rulers and authorities, he has made a public disgrace of them, triumphing over them by the cross. ² 

They will maintain the outward appearance ¹  of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these. ² 

And so, ¹  since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life.” ² 

Thus he became ¹  so far better than the angels as ²  he has inherited a name superior to theirs.

And by being perfected in this way, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. ¹ 

The city possesses ¹  the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper. ² 

Just before the Passover feast, Jesus knew that his time ¹  had come to depart ²  from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now loved them to the very end. ³

They went through the region of Phrygia ¹  and Galatia, ²  having been prevented ³  by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message ⁴  in the province of Asia. ⁵ 

But now there is nothing more to keep me ¹  in these regions, and I have for many years desired ²  to come to you

And even though you were dead in your ¹  transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless ²  made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.

Without father, without mother, without genealogy, he has neither beginning of days nor end of life but is like the son of God, and he remains a priest for all time.

and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured ¹  eternal redemption.

Their eyes, ¹  full of adultery, ²  never stop sinning; ³  they entice ⁴  unstable people. ⁵  They have trained their hearts for greed, these cursed children! ⁶ 

After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance. ¹
