“Yes, the Lord is a powerful deliverer.”’”

Romans 3:25-26
3:25 God publicly displayed
him
at his death
as the mercy seat
accessible through faith.
This was to demonstrate

3:26 This was
also to demonstrate
his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just
and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.

Ephesians 5:23-27
5:23 because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body.
5:24 But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
5:25 Husbands, love your
wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
5:26 to sanctify her by cleansing her
with the washing of the water by the word,
5:27 so that he
may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
