When a wicked person turns away from the wicked things that he has done and does what is fair and right, he will live.
If you love those who love you, do you deserve a reward? Even the tax collectors do that!
Some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”
“All the people, including tax collectors, heard John. They admitted that God was right by letting John baptize them.

This is a statement that can be trusted and deserves complete acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and I am the foremost sinner.
