Some of them clearly don’t make sense, but none of them make a lot of sense. Being baffled, I’ll go with 10 and 12.

4 and 10 please. I'm thinking we all need to play cards or something else for a couple of months because our definitions are sounding more and more alike. Last round and this round especially.

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)

12 and 13, to prove I read (almost) all the way to the end.

This is probably an obscure word so I’ll go with the obscure defs, 4 and 11.
