⁹ He whose ways are upright will go safely, but he whose ways are twisted will be made low.

¹³ He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.

¹³³ Let my steps be guided by your word; and let not sin have control over me.

¹⁰ Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not right for these things to be so.

¹ For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

³ For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

⁸ And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

⁵ Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

²⁶ Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

¹ <Of David. Maschil.> Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.

²¹ And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

¹ Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

¹⁴ For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven.

¹² Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil.

¹⁴ For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

¹⁵ And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.

¹⁶ But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.

¹⁷ So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

¹⁸ For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

³⁴ And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

¹¹ Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

⁴ Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.

⁴⁵ The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.

⁶ O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.

⁷ Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.

⁸ Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

¹¹ And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

¹² For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.

¹³ But all things, when their true quality is seen, are made clear by the light: because everything which is made clear is light.

¹ Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

² Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

³ For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

¹⁸ We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.

¹ Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

⁶ If we say we are joined to him, and are walking still in the dark, our words are false and our acts are untrue:

⁴ O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God.

⁹ Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

¹⁰ Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God.

¹¹ And such were some of you; but you have been washed, you have been made holy, you have been given righteousness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

⁴ And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

⁵ Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

⁶ So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

⁷ And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

⁸ Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.

⁶ But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.

²⁰ Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

¹² For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

¹³ And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

¹⁴ For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

¹⁶ Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

¹⁷ But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

¹⁸ And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.

¹⁹ I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

¹⁵ What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

⁶ And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins.

¹⁵ And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.

²⁸ So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

⁸ The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.

³ But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

²³ For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

²⁴ And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

²⁵ Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

¹⁶ So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

²³ Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.> Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.

² Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.

³ For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.

¹⁷ The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us.

⁹ If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

¹⁰ If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.

⁹ If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

²³ For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁴ Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.

⁵ Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.

⁶ Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.

⁷ Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.

⁸ Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.

⁹ Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.

¹⁰ Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.

⁵ I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.)

³ And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

²¹ For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

²³ For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;
