Peter said to them, “Y’all must repent and be baptized, every one of y’all, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your* sins. And y’all will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to YHWH,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please give glory to YHWH, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done! Don’t hide it from me!”
