Luke 15:1

A Conservative Version

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.

See the chapter Copy

Faithful is the saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinful men, of whom I am foremost.

Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

And the law entered so that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant,

And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors who were immersed the immersion of John, justified God.

And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.

For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the tax collectors the same?
