¹² I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;

⁴³ to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

³⁸ `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,

⁴⁷ and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

⁸ And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,

⁹ if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

¹ My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

⁷ Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning -- the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who `is' from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:

¹⁴ I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who `is' from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.

²¹ I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.

⁷ and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

⁴ and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

¹⁴ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,

¹ By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression `is' forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

² O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

⁷ Surely our iniquities have testified against us, O Jehovah, work for Thy name's sake, For many have been our backslidings, Against Thee we have sinned.

²⁰ and he having seen their faith, said to him, `Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

⁴⁷ therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'

⁴⁸ And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;'

⁴⁹ and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'

⁵⁰ and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'

¹² and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'

⁶ even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:

⁷ `Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered;

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

³² and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

¹¹ For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it `is' great.
