- Everyone who sins comes from the devil,
for the devil has been a sinner
from the very beginning.
The Son of God appeared for this very purpose:
to destroy the work of the devil. - Where many words are spoken, sin is not absent,
but whoever restrains his tongue is prudent. - Come to your senses and sin no more. For some of you have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
- I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
- But according to Scripture all things have been confined under sin, so that through faith in Jesus Christ what was promised might be given to those who believe.
- He made him who did not know sin to be sin for our sake, so that through him we might become the righteousness of God.
- But he was pierced for our offenses
and crushed for our iniquity;
the punishment that made us whole fell upon him,
and by his bruises we have been healed. - I treasure your word in my heart
for fear that I may sin against you. - I shall forgive them for their wicked deeds,
and I shall remember their sins no more. - Everyone who sins breaks the law,
for sin is lawlessness. - Whoever observes the commandments will live,
but the one who scorns them will die. - Nor should you present any part of your body as an instrument for wickedness leading to sin. Rather, present yourselves to God as having been raised from death to life and the parts of your body to God as instruments for righteousness.
- However, if the wicked renounce all of the sins that they have committed and keep all my statutes and do what is right and just, they shall surely live; they shall not die.
- In other words, God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, and not holding people’s transgressions against them, and he committed to us the message of reconciliation.
- You want something that you cannot have, so you commit murder. And you covet something but cannot obtain it, so you engage in quarrels and fights. You do not have because you do not ask.
- The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
but destruction for evildoers. - I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud
and your sins like a mist.
Return to me,
for I have redeemed you. - This is what love is:
not that we have loved God,
but that he loved us
and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. - This is the message
that we have heard from him
and that we declare to you:
God is light,
and there is no darkness at all in him. - Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, you should arm yourselves also with the same intention. For anyone who has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin.
- 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.
- What god can compare with you,
the God who takes away guilt
and forgives the transgressions
of the remnant of your people?
You will not allow your anger to fester forever,
for your delight is in bestowing mercy. - The labors of the wicked man produce little profit,
but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. - In Christ
and through his blood
we have redemption
and the forgiveness of our sins.
In accord with the riches of his grace. - 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.
