Job 11:13-15
|
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
|
|
|
If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
|
|
|
For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
|
|
Proverbs 28:13
|
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
|
|
Isaiah 55:6-7
|
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
|
|
|
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
|
|
Jeremiah 4:1
|
If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
|
|
Jeremiah 7:4-7
|
Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
|
|
|
For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
|
|
|
If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
|
|
|
Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
|
|
Matthew 12:43-45
|
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
|
|
|
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
|
|
|
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
|
|
Mark 2:15-17
|
And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
|
|
|
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
|
|
|
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
|
|
Luke 24:46-47
|
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
|
|
|
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
