9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather glory in my weaknesses that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
15 What then? shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? No, in no wise.
6 [Vau] Remember, O LORD, thy compassion and thy mercies, for they [have been] ever of old.
7 [Zain] Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellions; according to thy mercy remember me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
15 But not as the offense, so also [is] the gift. For if through the offense of [that] one many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of one man, Jesus the Christ, has abounded unto many.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great charity with which he loved us,
5 even as we were dead in sins, he has made us alive together with the Christ (by [whose] grace ye are saved)
1 To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy mercy; according unto the multitude of thy compassion eradicate my rebellion.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
1 Therefore, I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies in living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing unto God, [which is] your rational worship.
13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whosoever confesses and forsakes [them] shall attain mercy.
5 [Teth] A good man has mercy and lends; [Jod] He will govern his affairs with [good] judgment.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and set thou aright the work of our hands upon us; yea, set thou aright the work of our hands.:
1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths I cry unto thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
13 Therefore go ye and learn what this is, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, for I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
18 Who [is] a God like unto thee that pardons iniquity, and passes over the rebellion with the remnant of his heritage? He did not retain his anger for ever because he delights [in] mercy.
29 For unto you it is granted regarding Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake,
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
2 For the king had taken counsel with his princes and with all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because there were not enough priests sanctified, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem because for a long [time] they had not done it as it is written.
6 So the posts went with the letters from the hand of the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye sons of Israel, return unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 Do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren, who rebelled against the LORD God of their fathers and he gave them over to desolation, as ye see.
8 Therefore, do not be stiffnecked as your fathers [were], [but] yield yourselves unto the LORD and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
9 For if ye return unto the LORD, your brethren and your children [shall find] mercy before those that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land, for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful and will not turn away [his] face from you if ye return unto him.
10 So the posts passed from city to city through the land of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun, but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them.
11 Nevertheless, [some] men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, according to the word of the LORD.
13 And many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14 And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and they [also] took away all the altars for incense and cast [them] into the Brook Kidron.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the second month, and the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves with shame and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
16 And they put themselves in order according to the ordinance, according to the law of Moses, the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of the hands of the Levites.
17 For [there were] yet many in the congregation that were not sanctified; therefore, the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for each one [that was] not clean, to sanctify [them] unto the LORD.
18 For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, and they ate the passover not as it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon each one
19 [that] has prepared his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, even though [he is] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah and healed the people.
21 Thus, the sons of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the solemnity of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness, and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD, day by day, with instruments of strength unto the LORD.
22 And Hezekiah spoke unto the heart of all the Levites that had good understanding to [serve] the LORD, and they ate [the sacrifices] of the feast for seven days, offering sacrifices of peace and giving thanks unto the LORD God of their fathers.
23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept [another] seven days with gladness.
24 For Hezekiah, king of Judah, had given to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep, and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep, and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel [there was] not the like in Jerusalem.
27 Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to the dwelling place of his sanctuary, unto heaven.:
1 They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, shall he return unto her again? Is she not a land that is now completely polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, said the LORD.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places and see if there is anywhere thou hast not been ravished. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Therefore the rain has been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; and thou dost have a whore's forehead, thou dost refuse to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou [art] the guide of my youth?
5 Will he reserve [his anger] for ever? will he keep [it] to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done as many evil things as thou could.
6 The LORD said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen [that] which rebellious Israel has done? She is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these [things], Turn thou unto me. But she did not return. And her rebellious sister Judah saw [it].
8 And I saw when for all the causes by which rebellious Israel committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce; yet her rebellious sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through [her judging] her whoredom to be a light [thing] that the land became defiled and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 And yet for all this her rebellious sister Judah has never turned unto me with her whole heart, but untruthfully, said the LORD.
11 And the LORD said unto me, The rebellious Israel has justified her soul in comparison to the treacherous Judah.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north [wind] and say, Return, thou rebellious Israel, said the LORD [and] I will not cause my anger to fall upon you; for I [am] merciful, said the LORD, [and] I will not keep [anger] for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity that thou hast rebelled against the LORD thy God and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not heard my voice, said the LORD.
14 Turn, O rebellious sons, said the LORD; for I am your Lord, and I will take you one of a city and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land; in those days, said the LORD, they shall no longer say, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit [it]; neither shall [that] be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the Gentiles shall congregate unto it in the name of the LORD in Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after the hardness of their evil heart.
18 In those times they shall go out from the house of Judah unto the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north [wind] to the land which I caused your fathers to inherit.
19 But I said, How shall I place thee as sons and give thee the desirable land, the heritage that the hosts of Gentiles desire? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father and shalt not turn away from following me.
20 Surely [as] the woman breaks the faith of her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, said the LORD.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping of the supplications of the sons of Israel; for they have perverted their way, [and] they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 Return, ye rebellious sons, [and] I will heal your rebellion. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD our God.
23 Truly the hills are vanity, the multitude of mountains; truly in the LORD our God [is] the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame has devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth: their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the LORD our God.:
21 Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?
22 Jesus said unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times, but, Until seventy times seven.
14 For if ye set men free [from] their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also set you free;
31 Nevertheless, for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them nor forsake them; for thou [art] a gracious and merciful God.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait [for you], that he may have mercy on you, and therefore will he be exalted having mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all those that wait for him.
16 Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of his grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.:
11 Do not withhold thy tender mercies from me, O LORD; let thy mercy and thy truth continually preserve me.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will rest in the house of the LORD for ever.:
7 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.
