Bible verses about "apologizing" | Sawyer

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that every one believing in him may not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

^{15 (16:4)} But if your brother sins against you, go and reprove him between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. ¹⁶ But if he does not hear you, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established; ¹⁷ and if he will not hear them, tell the assembly; and if he will not hear the assembly, let him be to you as a gentile and a publican.

^{1 (2:3)} Dare any of you having a business with another be judged by the wicked, and not by the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the lowest courts? ³ Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then things pertaining to this life? ⁴ If then you have courts for the business of this life, do you constitute them of the most abject in the church? ⁵ I speak to your shame. Is there not now a wise man among you? not one who can judge between his brothers? ⁶ But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers. ⁷ Now therefore there is a great fault among you, that you go to law one with another. Why not rather suffer injustice? why not rather be defrauded? ⁸ But you injure and defraud, and that your brothers. ⁹ Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

And the body is not for fornication but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body; ¹⁴ and God both raised the Lord, and will raise us up by his power. ¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are Christ's members? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them a harlot's members? by no means. ¹⁶ Know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with her]? For the two, says he, shall be one flesh. ¹⁷ But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit [with him]. ¹⁸ Avoid fornication. Every crime that a man commits is out of his body; but he that commits fornication sins in his body. ¹⁹ Know you not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit in you which you have from God, and you are not your own? ²⁰ For you are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.

^{1 (1:3)} My little children, these things I write to you that you may not sin. But if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, ² and he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but for all the world. ³ And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ He that says, I have known him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; ⁵ but whoever keeps his word, in him truly is the love of God perfected. By this we know that we are in him. ⁶ He that says he continues in him, ought also himself so to walk as he walked. ^{7 (1:4)} Beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you heard. ⁸ Again, a new commandment I write you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is past and the true light now appears. ⁹ He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness till now. ¹⁰ He that loves his brother continues in the light, and there is no offense in him; ¹¹ but he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. ^{12 (1:5)} I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven on account of his name. ¹³ I write to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I wrote to you, little children, because you have known the Father. ¹⁴ I wrote to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God continues in you, and you have overcome the evil one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; ¹⁶ for all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passes away, and its desires; but he that does the will of God continues for ever. ^{18 (1:6)} Little children, it is the last time; and as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many have become anti-christs; whence we know that it is the last time. ¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us they would have continued with us; but [they went out from us] that they might be manifest that they are not all of us. ²⁰ And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things. ²¹ I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the anti-christ, [the man that] denies the Father and the Son. ²³ No one that denies the Son has the Father; he that confesses the Son has the Father also. ²⁴ Let that which you heard from the beginning continue in you. If that which you heard from the beginning continues in you, you also shall continue in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life. ^{26 (1:7)} I have written these things to you concerning those who deceive you. ²⁷ And the anointing which you received from him continues in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; but as his anointing teaches you of all things, and is true and is not a lie, even as it has taught you, continue in him. ^{28 (1:8)} And now, little children, continue in him, that when he shall appear we may have boldness, and not be put to shame by him at his coming. ²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

³ Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, reprove him; and if he changes his mind, forgive him; ⁴ and if he sins against you seven times in a day, and turn seven times, saying, I change my mind, you shall forgive him.

^{4 (6:6)} Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love is not boastful, is not puffed up, ⁵ does not behave unbecomingly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, devises not evil, ⁶ rejoices not in wickedness, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes for all things, and endures all things.

²³ If, therefore, you offer your gift on the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing against you, ²⁴ leave there your gift before the altar, and go and first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
