sinners

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.

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

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

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

¹⁷Jesus, having heard this, said to them: “The healthy have no need of a doctor, but those who have maladies do. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.”

²⁰Wisdom has strengthened the wise more than ten princes of a city.

⁸But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and drug users, and idolaters, and all liars, these shall be a part of the pool burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”

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.
