 Romans 5:6-8
For while we were still helpless,
at the right time Christ died for
the ungodly. For one will hardly
die for a righteous man; though
perhaps for the good man
someone would dare even to
die. But God demonstrates His
own love toward us, in that while
we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.
 Isaiah 53:5-6
But He was pierced through for
our transgressions, He was
crushed for our iniquities; the
chastening for our well-being fell
upon Him, and by His scourging
we are healed. All of us like
sheep have gone astray, each
of us has turned to his own way;
but the LORD has caused the
iniquity of us all to fall on Him.
 1 Peter 1:18-19
knowing that you were not
redeemed with perishable things
like silver or gold from your futile
way of life inherited from your
forefathers, but with precious
blood, as of a lamb unblemished
and spotless, the blood of
Christ.
 John 17:1
These things Jesus spoke; and
lifting up His eyes to heaven, He
said, “Father, the hour has
come; glorify Thy Son, that the
Son may glorify Thee,”
 Acts 3:13-15
“The God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, the God of our fathers, has
glorified His servant Jesus, the one
whom you delivered up, and disowned
in the presence of Pilate, when he had
decided to release Him. But you
disowned the Holy and Righteous
One, and asked for a murderer to be
granted to you, but put to death the
Prince of life, the one whom God
raised from the dead, a fact to which
we are witnesses.
 Philippians 2:8-11
And being found in appearance as a
man, He humbled Himself by becom-ing
obedient to the point of death, even death
on a cross. Therefore also God highly
exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the
name which is above every name, that at
the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of those who are in heaven, and on
earth, and under the earth, and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

1 Corinthians 1:22-24
For indeed Jews ask for signs,
and Greeks search for wisdom;
but we preach Christ crucified,
to Jews a stumbling block, and
to Gentiles foolishness, but to
those who are the called, both
Jews and Greeks, Christ the
power of God and the wisdom of
God.
1 Corinthians 2:2,4-5
For I determined to know nothing
among you except Jesus Christ,
and Him crucified…
And my message and my preaching
were not in persuasive words of
wisdom, but in demonstration of the
Spirit and of power, that your faith
should not rest on the wisdom of
men, but on the power of God.
 Galatians 6:14
But may it never be that I should
boast, except in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ, through
which the world has been
crucified to me, and I to the
world.
 2 Thess. 2:14
And it was for this He called you
through our gospel, that you
may gain the glory of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
