He takes away the first that he may establish the second. 10 By that will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God; 13 From that time onward waiting till his enemies are made his footstool.

But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more: 21 So that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
