This is my only comfort in life and in death

That I am not my own
but belong body and soul in life and death
to my faithful savior Jesus Christ.

He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood
and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.

He also watches over me in such a way
that not a hair can fall from my head
without the will of my Father in Heaven.
In fact, all things must work together for my salvation.

Because I belong to him,
Christ by his Holy Sprit, assures me of eternal life
and makes me whole heartedly willing and ready
from now on, to live for him.
