jesus mercy

⁷Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

²⁴Amen, amen, I say to you, that whoever hears my word, and believes in him who sent me, has eternal life, and he does not go into judgment, but instead he crosses from death into life.

¹But Jesus continued on to the Mount of Olives. ²And early in the morning, he went again to the temple; and all the people came to him. And sitting down, he taught them. ³Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them. ⁴And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery. ⁵And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?” ⁶But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.

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.

³⁶Therefore, be merciful, just as your Father is also merciful.

¹³For judgment is without mercy toward him who has not shown mercy. But mercy exalts itself above judgment.

¹³So then, go out and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the just, but sinners.”

¹⁶Therefore, let us go forth with confidence toward the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy, and find grace, in a helpful time.

²³For the wages of sin is death. But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹Now the main point in the things that have been stated is this: that we have so great a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens, ²who is the minister of holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which was established by the Lord, not by man. ³For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Therefore, it is necessary for him also to have something to offer. ⁴And so, if he were upon the earth, he would not be a priest, since there would be others to offer gifts according to the law, ⁵gifts which serve as mere examples and shadows of the heavenly things. And so it was answered to Moses, when he was about to complete the tabernacle: “See to it,” he said, “that you make everything according to the example which was revealed to you on the mountain.” ⁶But now he has been granted a better ministry, so much so that he is also the Mediator of a better testament, which has been confirmed by better promises.
