- But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
- It is better to spend one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in God’s house
than dwell inside the tents of the wicked. - In the same way, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
- Preferable is the little that the righteous possess
than the great wealth of the wicked.
For the power of the wicked will be overcome,
but the Lord protects the righteous. - If he refuses to listen to them, report it to the Church. And if he refuses to listen to the Church, treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.
- In Christ
and through his blood
we have redemption
and the forgiveness of our sins.
In accord with the riches of his grace. - The labors of the wicked man produce little profit,
but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. - If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is preferable for you to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna.
- What then should we say? That the Law is sinful? Absolutely not! Yet if it had not been for the Law, I would not have known what sin was. I would not have known what covet is if the Law had not said, “You shall not covet.”
- The face of the Lord is turned against those who do evil,
to erase all memory of them from the earth. - You will again show us compassion
and wash away our guilt;
you will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea. - Many shall be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will persist in their evil ways.
- If your brother should sin, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. Even if he wrongs you seven times a day, and comes back to you seven times to say, ‘I am sorry,’ you must forgive him.
- And now, what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins washed away, calling on his name.
- He reveals deep and hidden mysteries
and knows what lies in the darkness,
for light dwells with him. - Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops.
- Help us, O God, our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and wipe away our sins
for your name’s sake. - Therefore, I tell you that every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
- When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each one of you from your wicked ways.
- He is himself the sacrifice for our sins—
and not only for our sins
but also for the sins of the whole world. - For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tested in every respect as we are, but without sinning.
- And whenever you stand in prayer, forgive whatever grievance you have against anybody, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your wrongs too.
- You have heard that it was said of old: ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that anyone who looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- Indeed, it is seldom that anyone will die for a just person, although perhaps for a good person someone might be willing to die. Thus, God proved his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
- All those who have sinned outside the Law will perish outside the Law, and all who sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law.
