1 Peter 3:12

James Moffatt - New Testament

For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry; but the face of the Lord is set against wrongdoers.

See the chapter Copy

God, we know, does not listen to sinners; he listens to anyone who is devout and who obeys his will.

So confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed; the prayers of the righteous have a powerful effect.
