Charity…rejoices not in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth.
–1 Corinthians 13:6 (KJV)–
He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again…He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
–2 Corinthians 5:15, 21 (KJV)–
His own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.
–1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)–
