Bible verses about "apologizing" | Worrell

¹⁵ "And, if your brother sin against you, go show him his fault between you and him alone. If he hear you, you gained your brother; ¹⁶ but, if he hear you not, take with you yet one or two, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every word may be established. ¹⁷ And, if he disregard them, tell it to the assembly; and, if he disregard the assembly also, let him be to you as the gentile and the tax-collector.

¹ Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? ² Or know ye not that the saints will judge the world? And, if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of the smallest tribunals? ³ Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, then, things pertaining to this life? ⁴ If, then, ye have tribunals pertaining to this life, do ye set those to judge who are set at nought in the assembly? ⁵ I speak to your shame! Is it so, that there is not among you even one wise man, who will be able to judge between his brethren? ⁶ But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers! ⁷ Already, therefore, it is wholly a loss to you, that ye have law-suits one with another! Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? ⁸ But ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren! ⁹ Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God. ¹² All things are lawful for me; but all are not profitable.

For, "the two", He saith, "shall be one flesh"; ¹⁷ but he who is united to the Lord is one spirit. ¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin which a man commits is without the body; but he that commits adultery sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom ye have from God, and that ye are not your own? ²⁰ For ye were bought with a price; glorify God, therefore, in your body.

¹ My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And, if any one sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous. ² And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. ³ And in this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments. ⁴ He who says, "I have known Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; ⁵ but whosoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected: in this we know that we are in Him. ⁶ He who says that he is abiding in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked. ⁷ Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but and old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard. ⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. ⁹ He who says that he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now. ¹⁰ He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. ¹¹ But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he is going, because the darkness blinded his eyes. ¹² I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake. ¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye have known Him Who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have conquered the evil one. I wrote to you, little children, because ye have known the Father. ¹⁴ I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have known Him Who is from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have conquered the evil one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; ¹⁶ because all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the vain-glory of life—is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and the desire thereof; but be that does the will of God abides forever. ¹⁸ Little children, it is the last hour; and, as ye heard that Anti-Christ is coming, even now many anti-christs have arisen; whence we know that it is the last hour. ¹⁹ They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest, that they are not all of us. ²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye all know Him. ²¹ I did not write to you because ye know not the truth; but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ?

If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise which He Himself promised us, the eternal life. ²⁶ These things I wrote to you concerning those who would deceive you. ²⁷ And the Anointing which ye received from Him abideth in you, and ye have no need that anyone teach you; but as His Anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as He taught you, ye abide in Him. ²⁸ And now, little children, abide in Him; that, if He shall be manifested, we may have confidence, and not be put away from Him with shame at His coming. ²⁹ If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that does righteousness has been begotten of Him.
