For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.
You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”
And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’ ”
