ATONEMENT


Taken from the HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (C) 1978 by the New 
York Bible Society, used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers.

GEN 4:4  But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his 
flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

22:2  Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, 
and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on 
one of the mountains I will tell you about."

EXO 12:5  The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and 
you may take them from the sheep or the goats.

11  This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, 
your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it 
is the LORD'S Passover.

14  "This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you 
shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD--a lasting ordinance.

24:8  Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, "This 
is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance 
with all these words."

LEV 16:30  because on this day atonement will be made for you, to cleanse 
you. Then, before the LORD, you will be clean from all your sins.

34  "This is to be a lasting ordinance for you: Atonement is to be made 
once a year for all the sins of the Israelites." And it was done, as the 
LORD commanded Moses.

17:11  For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to 
you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that 
makes atonement for one's life.

PSA 40:6  Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have 
pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.

ISA 53:4  Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we 
considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

5  But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our 
iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his 
wounds we are healed.

6  We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own 
way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7  He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was 
led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is 
silent, so he did not open his mouth.

8  By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his 
descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the 
transgression of my people he was stricken.

10  Yet it was the LORD'S will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and 
though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring 
and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

11  After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be 
satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he 
will bear their iniquities.

12  Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide 
the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and 
was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made 
intercession for the transgressors.

ZEC 13:1  "On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

MAT 20:28  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."

26:28  This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for 
the forgiveness of sins.

LUK 2:30  For my eyes have seen your salvation,

31  which you have prepared in the sight of all people,

24:46  He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and 
rise from the dead on the third day,

JOH 1:29  The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, 
the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

6:51  I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of 
this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give 
for the life of the world."

ACT 20:28  Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy 
Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he 
bought with his own blood.

ROM 3:24  and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that 
came by Christ Jesus.

25  God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his 
blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance 
he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--

26  he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be 
just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

4:25  He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life 
for our justification.

5:1  Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace 
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

6  You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ 
died for the ungodly.

7  Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man 
someone might possibly dare to die.

8  But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still 
sinners, Christ died for us.

9  Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be 
saved from God's wrath through him!

10  For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through 
the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be 
saved through his life!

11  Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus 
Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

15  But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the 
trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that 
came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

16  Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The 
judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed 
many trespasses and brought justification.

17  For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one 
man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace 
and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus 
Christ.

18  Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for 
all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification 
that brings life for all men.

19  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.

20  The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin 
increased, grace increased all the more,

21  so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign 
through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1CO 1:23  but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and 
foolishness to Gentiles,

2:7  No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and 
that God destined for our glory before time began.

5:7  Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as 
you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

15:3  For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that 
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

2CO 5:18  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ 
and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

19  that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting 
men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of 
reconciliation.

GAL 1:4  who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil 
age, according to the will of our God and Father,

3:13  Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for 
us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."

4:4  But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, 
born under law,

5  to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of 
sons.

EPH 1:3  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has 
blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

4  For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and 
blameless in his sight. In love

5  he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in 
accordance with his pleasure and will--

6  to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the 
One he loves.

7  In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in 
accordance with the riches of God's grace

8  that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

9  And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good 
pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

10  to be put into effect when the times will have reached their 
fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one 
head, even Christ.

11  In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the 
plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his 
will,

12  in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for 
the praise of his glory.

17  I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious 
Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may 
know him better.

18  I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order 
that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his 
glorious inheritance in the saints,

19  and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like 
the working of his mighty strength,

20  which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated 
him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

21  far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title 
that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

22  And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head 
over everything for the church,

2:4  But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

5  made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it 
is by grace you have been saved.

6  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly 
realms in Christ Jesus,

7  in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches 
of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from 
yourselves, it is the gift of God--

9  not by works, so that no one can boast.

10  For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, 
which God prepared in advance for us to do.

13  But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought 
near through the blood of Christ.

15  by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and 
regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the 
two, thus making peace,

5:2  and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up 
for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

COL 1:19  For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,

20  and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on 
earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the 
cross.

1TH 5:10  He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may 
live together with him.

1TI 2:6  who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in 
its proper time.

TIT 2:14  who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to 
purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is 
good.

HEB 2:9  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now 
crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the 
grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

7:27  Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices 
day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. 
He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.

9:7  But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a 
year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the 
sins the people had committed in ignorance.

12  He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he 
entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained 
eternal redemption.

14  How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal 
Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from 
acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

15  For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those 
who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he 
has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the 
first covenant.

20  He said, "This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded 
you to keep."

22  In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with 
blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

24  For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of 
the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's 
presence.

25  Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the 
high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not 
his own.

26  Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of 
the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to 
do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27  Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

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

10:1  The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not the 
realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices 
repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to 
worship.

4  because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away 
sins.

6  with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.

10  And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the 
body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11  Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; 
again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away 
sins.

12  But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, 
he sat down at the right hand of God.

14  because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are 
being made holy.

11:4  By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith 
he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. 
And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

17  By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He 
who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son,

19  Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively 
speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.

13:12  And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people 
holy through his own blood.

1PE 1:8  Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do 
not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible 
and glorious joy,

9  for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your 
souls.

10  Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that 
was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,

11  trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of 
Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and 
the glories that would follow.

12  It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, 
when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have 
preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels 
long to look into these things.

18  For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or 
gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you 
from your forefathers,

19  but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or 
defect.

20  He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in 
these last times for your sake.

2:24  He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might 
die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

3:18  For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the 
unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made 
alive by the Spirit,

1JO 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have 
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us 
from all sin.

2:2  He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but 
also for the sins of the whole world.

3:5  But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And 
in him is no sin.

4:10  This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent 
his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

5:6  This is the one who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ. He did not 
come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who 
testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

REV 1:5  and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn 
from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us 
and has freed us from our sins by his blood,

5:9  And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to 
open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased 
men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

7:14  I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have 
come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made 
them white in the blood of the Lamb.

12:11  They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their 
testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

13:8  All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names 
have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was 
slain from the creation of the world.
