Mark 6:12

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

Samuel said, “Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying Yahweh’s voice? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Now Yahweh’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

But about the dead, that they are raised; haven’t you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.

Yahweh says, “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is near and my righteousness will soon be revealed.

But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”

I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
