Greeks 9:2
2
But when our unrighteousness was made complete, and it was fully revealed that its wages — punishment and death — were to be expected, then came the time which God had foreordained finally to manifest his own kindness and power. O the surpassing love toward man, the love of God! He did not hate us, nor reject us, nor remember the evil, but was long-suffering. He bore with us. Having mercy, he himself took upon himself our sins. He himself gave his own Son a ransom for us — the holy for the lawless, the harmless for the evil, the righteous for the unrighteous, the incorruptible for the corruptible, the immortal for the mortal.[fn]
