Do not have other gods besides Me.
How joyful is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!
How joyful is the man the Lord does not charge with sin and in whose spirit is no deceit!
When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
For day and night Your hand was heavy on me; my strength was drained as in the summer’s heat. Selah
Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not conceal my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and You took away the guilt of my sin. Selah
Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to You at a time that You may be found. When great floodwaters come, they will not reach him.
Wash away my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.
For I am conscious of my rebellion, and my sin is always before me.
Against You — You alone — I have sinned and done this evil in Your sight. So You are right when You pass sentence; You are blameless when You judge.
The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit. God, You will not despise a broken and humbled heart.
We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished Him for the iniquity of us all.
Then He said, “What comes out of a person — that defiles him.
For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,
adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, promiscuity, stinginess, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
If we say, “We have no sin,” we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Everyone who commits sin also breaks the law; sin is the breaking of law.
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that does not bring death.
