“For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.” — 1 Peter 1:18-19 Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.
