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

⁴ He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

² For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

²³ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

¹⁴ What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

⁹ Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

⁴ How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

² And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

²⁰ For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

³ For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

⁵ Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

³⁶ If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

⁴⁶ If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

⁶ But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

²² For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.

²³ How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹³ But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

²² But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

²⁶ If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

¹³ And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

⁵ And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

⁶ Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

² For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

² I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
