7 PBA Nameba o' tetang hasu tofang name uampo med o' doc tofang uampoho, loil asal bad herang med. BSB BSB: “Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 PBA Nameba Lahtal o' doc ernu e' ta' an neneho, loil asal bad herang med! BSB BSB: Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

BSB BSB: For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
14 PBA Sobo, mang fede' Taurat o' Hukung ei name horo uaneng to hamow honi hee, udume ho sano' na mang tanai, med paha' hodi bal meng; BSB BSB: For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,

BSB BSB: As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.

25 PBA Sariho, Yesusba a' lorang min tabang en asel pi doc, sobo Sa so fetang honie Sa tano' a' bul. BSB BSB: He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.
