Which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Yahshua saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of Elohim before you.
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
For this cause also thank we Elohim without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of Elohim which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of Yahweh, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
