“To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:77 To give knowledge of salvation by the remission of sins - The knowledge of the remission of our sins being the grand instrument of present and eternal salvation, #Heb 8:11|,12. But the immediate sense of the words seems to be, to preach to them the Gospel doctrine of salvation by the remission of their sins.
1:78 The day spring - Or the rising sun; that is, Christ.
