May the LORD remember the evil of his ancestors and never forgive his mother's sins.

That man never thought of being kind; he persecuted and killed the poor, the needy, and the helpless.

My bitterness will turn into peace. You save my life from all danger; You forgive all my sins.

And yet, I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am. I will not hold your sins against you.

so do not be too angry with us or hold our sins against us forever. We are your people; be merciful to us.

I will forgive their sins and will no longer remember their wrongs."

"This is the covenant that I will make with them in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and write them on their minds."

So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.

You bring bitter charges against me, even for what I did when I was young.

Their bodies used to be young and vigorous, but soon they will turn to dust.

Now listen to me, sons, and never forget what I am saying.

If you do, others will gain the respect that you once had, and you will die young at the hands of merciless people.

You will lie groaning on your deathbed, your flesh and muscles being eaten away,

A man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

Afterward, Jesus found him in the Temple and said, "Listen, you are well now; so stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins!

Help me, O LORD my God; because of your constant love, save me!

Treat me according to your constant love, and teach me your commands.

Come and save me, LORD; in your mercy rescue me from death.

Look on your servant with kindness; save me in your constant love.

Let us praise God for his glorious grace, for the free gift he gave us in his dear Son!

For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven. How great is the grace of God,

But God's mercy is so abundant, and his love for us is so great,

In our union with Christ Jesus he raised us up with him to rule with him in the heavenly world.

For it is by God's grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God's gift, so that no one can boast about it.
