To whom you forgive anything, I forgive also: for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ;
Verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Whosoever’s sins you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosoever’s sins you retain, they are retained.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,
And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.
