14 But far be it from me to boast ⁿexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which¹ the world ^ohas been crucified to me, and I to the world.

20 and ^wthrough him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, ^xmaking peace ^yby the blood of his cross.

2 For I decided to know nothing among you except ^zJesus Christ and him crucified.

7 ^qIn him we have ^rredemption ^sthrough his blood, ^tthe forgiveness of our trespasses, ^uaccording to the riches of his grace,

22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and ^fwithout the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

Benediction

20 Now ^dmay the God of peace ^ewho brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^fthe great shepherd of the sheep, by ^gthe blood of the eternal covenant,
