Forgiveness

⁷ But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸ If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

And when he prayed to Him, the LORD received his plea and heard his petition; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.

Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die.

All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your name.”

⁶² So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,

⁶³ so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”

²¹ But if the wicked man turns from all the sins he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.

²² None of the transgressions he has committed will be held against him. Because of the righteousness he has practiced, he will live.

For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

¹⁷ Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

¹⁸ And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.

“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.

“Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her forced labor has been completed; her iniquity has been pardoned. For she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.”

I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like a mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.

And I will cleanse them from all the iniquity they have committed against Me, and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against Me.

And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

¹⁸ Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance— who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?

¹⁹ He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.

When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.

So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”

But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.

³³ When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading with You in this temple,

³⁴ then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to their fathers.

³⁵ When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,

³⁶ then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.

Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

⁶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.

⁷ And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”

When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

²⁰ So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.

²¹ The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

²² But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

²³ Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

²⁴ For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.

When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

¹⁷ I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them

¹⁸ to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’

¹⁶ So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,

¹⁷ ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the transgression and sin of your brothers, for they did you wrong.’ So now, Joseph, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.

⁴¹ “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

⁴² When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

⁴³ “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

⁵ Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’

⁶ But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

⁷ And the man got up and went home.

⁸ When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.

And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.

At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.

And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’

So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”

²³ Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’

²⁴ But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

²⁵ And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

²⁶ Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

⁹ “Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

¹⁰ But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

¹¹ “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
