Righteousness2246
rose for those
upon the earth, so likewise He might bring light to those who sit under
the earth in darkness and shadow of death2247

brought the message of peace to those upon the earth, and of release to
the prisoners, and of sight to the blind2248

Author of everlasting salvation and to those who did not believe a

That every knee should bow to Him, of things in heaven, and things
in earth and things under the earth2251

who had been bound for ages, straightway He rose again from the dead,
