5 And I now say unto you, that the Lord Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, who was of the seed of David,
6 According to the annunciation of the Holy Ghost, sent to her by our Father from heaven;
7 That Jesus might be introduced into the world [3], and deliver our flesh by his flesh, and that he might raise us up from the dead;
8 As in this also he himself became the example:
9 That it might be made manifest that man was created by the Father,
10 He has not remained in perdition unsought [4];
11 But he is sought for, that he might be revived by adoption.
12 For God, who is the Lord of all, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who made heaven and earth, sent, firstly, the Prophets to the Jews:
13 That he would absolve them from their sins, and bring them to his judgment.
14 Because he wished to save, firstly, the house of Israel, he bestowed and poured forth his Spirit upon the Prophets;
