- He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. - Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
- Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
- For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
- Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
- Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
- And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
