"'For if by one man's offence, death reigned by one; much more
they which receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of
righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Christ Jesus. Where sin
abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin hath reigned unto

"'Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I
am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is
