- For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins no more. - But he was wounded for our transgressions,
crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the punishment that made us whole,

- I treasure your word in my heart,
so that I may not sin against you. - Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

those who are heedless of their ways will die. - No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

and passing over the transgression
of the remnant of your possession?

because he delights in showing clemency. - The wicked earn no real gain,
but those who sow righteousness get a true reward. - In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

through my groaning all day long.
