The plan of redemption was prepared
from the foundation of the world,
through Christ, for all whosoever
would believe on his name.
And since man had fallen
he could not merit anything of himself;
but the sufferings and death of Christ
atone for their sins,
through faith and repentance, and so forth;
and that he breaketh the bands of death,
that the grave shall have no victory,
and that the sting of death
should be swallowed up
in the hopes of glory.
