come as you are

²⁸Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you.

¹⁷And the Spirit and the Bride say: “Draw near.” And whoever hears, let him say: “Draw near.” And whoever thirsts, let him draw near. And whoever is willing, let him accept the water of life, freely.

¹⁸And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. Then, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white like wool.

³⁷All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.

⁸Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners! And purify your hearts, you duplicitous souls!

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

⁸But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,

¹All you who thirst, come to the waters. And you who have no money: hurry, buy and eat. Approach, buy wine and milk, without money and without barter.

⁶I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.

²³For all have sinned and all are in need of the glory of God.

³²And it will happen that everyone who will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. For on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and in the remnant whom the Lord will call, there will be salvation, just as the Lord has said.

¹⁰For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.”

¹⁹The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit.

⁴⁴No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

⁶Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

³²I have not come to call the just, but sinners to repentance.”
