| Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. | A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one. |
| For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. | For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus. |

| But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. | But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises. |
| And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. | 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. |
| Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” | Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” |
| Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. | And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. |
| For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. | For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
| I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. | My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. |
| For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. | God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. |
| And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. | When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment. |
