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;

¹⁰ if we may say -- `we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.

⁸ And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,

⁹ not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

²⁰ for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;
