1 Peter 3:18 Douay-Rheims

Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit,

Cyprian

c. A.D. 200–258 Patristic

That it is impossible to attain to God the Father, except by His Son Jesus Christ:

In the Gospel: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh to the Father but by me." ...Also to the Romans: "For all have sinned, and fail of the glory of God; but they are justified by His gift and grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus." Also in the Epistle of Peter the apostle: "Christ hath died once for our sins, the just for the unjust, that He might present us to God."
