But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’

So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.

For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.

Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great. You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

If this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.

Restore us, Lord God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

For this is what the high and exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.”

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.”

For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.

“On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.”

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Help us, God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

And, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.
