1 Timothy 2:6

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

and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

even as the witness about Christ was confirmed in you,

which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

but at the proper time manifested His word in preaching, with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.
