Chapter 9Bogur.1.9
Strofa 9
The Price of Redemption
Christ redeemed humanity not through worldly wealth, but through His own divine power and sacrifice.
He did not redeem us from the devil with silver or gold; He stood in for us with His own power.1
Read the original Latin
Ni śrebrem, ni złotem nas diabłu odkupił, Swą mocą zastąpił.
Notes
- 1 ↩Polish zastąpił carries the sense of substitution / standing in another's place; rendered as 'stood in for us' rather than a looser 'helped' or 'protected'.

Never lose the rhythm again
Chosen Portion delivers your morning, midday and night office to your phone — the Hours, without the bells.
Chosen Portion is a modern Book of Hours: it turns the fixed-hour structure this collection preserves into scheduled, tappable daily prayer on your phone.
- Three daily prayer moments scheduled around your real calendar, not a monastery's
- Psalms and historic prayers sequenced for you — no page-flipping or decision fatigue
- A visible streak of completed offices, so the rhythm compounds instead of collapsing
