Behold the Lamb of God. [It is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: in
burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I
come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. --He
was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as
a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth
not his mouth. Ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as]
silver and gold, . . . but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot: . . . manifest in these last times for you, who by him do
believe in God, . . . that your faith and hope might be in God. Worthy is the Lamb
that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour,
I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. Not as though I
had already attained, either were already perfect.--Leaving the principles of the
doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.--The path of the just [is] as
the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. I love the
inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live.--I will
bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth. Praise
waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion.--They rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy,
evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of
God in Christ Jesus concerning you.--Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say,
Rejoice.
