Luke 15:1

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And all publicans and sinful were drawing near him to hear him.

See the chapter Copy

Faithful the word, and worthy of all acceptance, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save the sinful; of whom I am first.

And in the unjust one turning back from his injustice which he did; and he will do judgment and justice, he shall save his soul alive.

And the law entered, that the fall might abound. And where sin abounded, grace superabounded:

And all the people having heard, and the publicans, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John.

And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

For if ye love them loving you, what reward. have you? do not also the tax collectors the same?
