| No one who conceals his transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and renounces them will obtain mercy. | He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. |
| For one believes in the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. | For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. |
|
| God abides in anyone who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, and that person abides in God. | Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. |
| Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. | Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. |
| This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, about whose coming you have been told, and that it is already in the world. | 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. |
| If your brother wrongs you, go and take up the matter with him when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. | 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. |
| Therefore, when someone is guilty of any one of these things, he shall confess the sin he has committed. | 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. |
