Luke 15:1

Tree of Life Version

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to hear Yeshua.

See the chapter Copy

Trustworthy is the saying and deserving of complete acceptance: “Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners”—of whom I am foremost.

But when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he committed and does what is lawful and right, his soul will live.

Now the Torah came in so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace overflowed even more—

And when all the people heard, even the tax collectors, they affirmed God’s justice, because they had been immersed with John’s immersion.

And indeed, some are last who shall be first, and some are first who shall be last.”

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don’t they?
