15 It will be He Himself, (1)

16-17 who saves His own, and destroys all the power of hell. (8)

18-21 From Him will be a new thing, and a new church of those who had previously been in no truths whatever. (11, 2)

22-27 The church itself did not worship Him, but they wearied Him with sins, which He bore with, from the beginning and also afterwards. (4)
