# Instead
|
||
|
||
The connecting word **Instead** introduces a contrast relationship. You would expect that doing good things might save you, or that nothing could make you God’s friend. Instead, believing in Christ saves you and makes you God’s friend. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast]])

# instead of you
|
||
|
||
This could mean ‘ in your place.’
|
||
|
||
# raised him to life again
|
||
|
||
This could also be translated as: “made him alive again.”
|
||
|
||
# If you believe this
|
||
|
||
The connecting word **If** introduces a hypothetical conditional relationship. If you believe in Christ, then God will forgive your sins. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical]])
