I am writingto you, little children,becauseyour sinshave been forgivenyou for His name'ssake.
Nevertheless He savedthem for the sakeof His name,That He might makeHis powerknown.
For Your name'ssake,O LORD,Pardonmy iniquity,for it is great.
"Althoughour iniquitiestestifyagainst us, O LORD,actfor Your name'ssake!Trulyour apostasieshave beenmany,We have sinnedagainst You.
and that repentancefor forgivenessof sinswould be proclaimedin His nameto allthe nations,beginningfrom Jerusalem.
Seeingtheir faith,He said,"Friend,your sinsare forgivenyou."
"Of Him allthe prophetsbear witnessthat throughHis nameeveryonewho believesin Him receivesforgivenessof sins."
"Thereforelet it be knownto you, brethren,that throughHim forgivenessof sinsis proclaimedto you,
"And there is salvationin nooneelse;for there is noothernameunderheaventhat has been givenamongmenby whichwe mustbe saved."
Suchwere someof you; but you were washed,but you were sanctified,but you were justifiedin the nameof the LordJesusChristand in the Spiritof our God.
In Him we haveredemptionthroughHis blood,the forgivenessof our trespasses,accordingto the richesof His grace
Be kindto one another,tender-hearted,forgivingeach other,justas Godin Christalsohas forgivenyou.
in whomwe haveredemption,the forgivenessof sins.
