Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? ¹  I tell you the solemn truth, ²  the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!

Jesus replied, ¹  “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. ²  No one comes to the Father except through me.

just as you have given him authority over all humanity, ¹  so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him. ² 

In humiliation ¹  justice was taken from him. ²  Who can describe his posterity? ³  For his life was taken away ⁴  from the earth.” ⁵ 

When they heard this, ¹  they ceased their objections ²  and praised ³  God, saying, “So then, God has granted the repentance ⁴  that leads to life even to the Gentiles.” ⁵

But now, freed ¹  from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit ²  leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

For the law of the life-giving Spirit ¹  in Christ Jesus has set you ²  free from the law of sin and death.

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but ¹  the Spirit is your life ²  because of righteousness.
