But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

he will remove his people’s disgrace
from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.

You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

And this is what he promised us–eternal life.
