God publicly displayed<n id="1" /> him<n id="2" /> at his death<n id="3" /> as the mercy seat<n id="4" /> accessible through faith.<n id="5" /> This was to demonstrate<n id="6" /> his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.<n id="7" />

I do not want you to be unaware,<n id="1" /> brothers and sisters,<n id="2" /> that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.<n id="3" />
