Concerning this salvation, the prophets who predicted the grace that would come to you searched and investigated carefully.

by casting all your cares on him because he cares for you.

Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit.

But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess.
