~Bending under the weight of His mercies~

Through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the Law of Moses (Acts 13:38-39)

[ALAN MALLACH]

Johnny - I'll go with 2 and 12 for no particularly good reason.

[Daniel B. Widdis]

I believe 3, and wonder if you're selling a fake relic, did you really steal it?

I also believe 13, and if you steal a small relic it might be possible that both my guesses are correct.

Past history suggests otherwise, however.
