repenting

⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

²⁶For if we sin willingly, after receiving knowledge of the truth, there is no sacrifice remaining for sins,

³⁸Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶And now, why do you delay? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, by invoking his name.’

³No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly.

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

¹⁶Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Yet truly, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.

⁸For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.

¹³For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

¹⁴and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

⁹The Lord is not delaying his promise, as some imagine, but he does act patiently for your sake, not wanting anyone to perish, but wanting all to be turned back to penance.

⁴Everyone who commits a sin, also commits iniquity. For sin is iniquity.

¹To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me. ²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses. ³He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities. ⁴He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion. ⁵He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.
