But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws.

But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws.

" LORD God of Heaven! You are great, and we stand in fear of you. You faithfully keep your covenant with those who love you and do what you command.

"O God, our God, how great you are! How terrifying, how powerful! You faithfully keep your covenant promises. From the time when Assyrian kings oppressed us, even till now, how much we have suffered! Our kings, our leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors, and all our people have suffered. Remember how much we have suffered!

But you, O Lord, are a merciful and loving God, always patient, always kind and faithful.

You have shown constant love to thousands, but you also punish people for the sins of their parents. You are a great and powerful God; you are the LORD Almighty.

I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed the sins of my people. I said, "Lord God, you are great, and we honor you. You are faithful to your covenant and show constant love to those who love you and do what you command.

He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.

But you forgive us, so that we should stand in awe of you.

You are merciful and forgiving, although we have rebelled against you.

There is no other god like you, O LORD; you forgive the sins of your people who have survived. You do not stay angry forever, but you take pleasure in showing us your constant love.

"If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.

For this reason I tell you: people can be forgiven any sin and any evil thing they say; but whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

So he called the servant in. 'You worthless slave!' he said. 'I forgave you the whole amount you owed me, just because you asked me to.

The king was very angry, and he sent the servant to jail to be punished until he should pay back the whole amount."

Neither of them could pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Which one, then, will love him more?"

Then Jesus said to the woman, "Your sins are forgiven."

God raised him to his right side as Leader and Savior, to give the people of Israel the opportunity to repent and have their sins forgiven.

All of you, my fellow Israelites, are to know for sure that it is through Jesus that the message about forgiveness of sins is preached to you; you are to know that everyone who believes in him is set free from all the sins from which the Law of Moses could not set you free.

"Happy are those whose wrongs are forgiven, whose sins are pardoned!

Happy is the person whose sins the Lord will not keep account of !"

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

Instead, be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ.

But if we confess our sins to God, he will keep his promise and do what is right: he will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing.

Do not make false accusations, and do not put an innocent person to death, for I will condemn anyone who does such an evil thing.

Pay attention to him and obey him. Do not rebel against him, for I have sent him, and he will not pardon such rebellion.

'I, the LORD, am not easily angered, and I show great love and faithfulness and forgive sin and rebellion. Yet I will not fail to punish children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation for the sins of their parents.'

The LORD answered, "I will forgive them, as you have asked.

none of these people will live to enter that land. They have seen the dazzling light of my presence and the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but they have tried my patience over and over again and have refused to obey me.

The LORD will take revenge and punish them; the time will come when they will fall; the day of their doom is near.

Joshua said to the people, "But you may not be able to serve the LORD. He is a holy God and will not forgive your sins. He will tolerate no rivals,

You were watching to see if I would sin, so that you could refuse to forgive me.

The LORD has revealed himself by his righteous judgments, and the wicked are trapped by their own deeds.

Death is the destiny of all the wicked, of all those who reject God.

He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart.

He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds.

The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished; they will wade through the blood of the wicked.

People will say, "The righteous are indeed rewarded; there is indeed a God who judges the world."

He killed the first-born sons of the Egyptians; his love is eternal.

but he drowned the king of Egypt and his army; his love is eternal.

Come and present your case in court; let the defendants consult one another. Who predicted long ago what would happen? Was it not I, the LORD, the God who saves his people? There is no other god.

How can I forgive those who use false scales and weights?

The LORD God tolerates no rivals; he punishes those who oppose him. In his anger he pays them back.

The LORD does not easily become angry, but he is powerful and never lets the guilty go unpunished. Where the LORD walks, storms arise; the clouds are the dust raised by his feet!

When he is angry, who can survive? Who can survive his terrible fury? He pours out his flaming anger; rocks crumble to dust before him.

Or perhaps you despise his great kindness, tolerance, and patience. Surely you know that God is kind, because he is trying to lead you to repent.

For God will reward each of us according to what we have done.

Other people are selfish and reject what is right, in order to follow what is wrong; on them God will pour out his anger and fury.

Now we know that everything in the Law applies to those who live under the Law, in order to stop all human excuses and bring the whole world under God's judgment.

But now God's way of putting people right with himself has been revealed. It has nothing to do with law, even though the Law of Moses and the prophets gave their witness to it.

everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence.

God offered him, so that by his blood he should become the means by which people's sins are forgiven through their faith in him. God did this in order to demonstrate that he is righteous. In the past he was patient and overlooked people's sins; but in the present time he deals with their sins, in order to demonstrate his righteousness. In this way God shows that he himself is righteous and that he puts right everyone who believes in Jesus.

And the same is true of what God has done. He wanted to show his anger and to make his power known. But he was very patient in enduring those who were the objects of his anger, who were doomed to destruction.

And he also wanted to reveal his abundant glory, which was poured out on us who are the objects of his mercy, those of us whom he has prepared to receive his glory.

because our God is indeed a destroying fire.

Those who did not have their name written in the book of the living were thrown into the lake of fire.

But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who practice magic, those who worship idols, and all liars---the place for them is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation.

But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws.
