Bible verses about "apologizing" | Anderson

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved.

¹⁵ And if your brother sin against you, go and tell him of his fault between you and him alone; if he hear you, you have gained your brother. ¹⁶ But if he will 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 But if he refuse to hear them, tell it to the church; and if he also refuse to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen man and a publican.

¹ Does any one of you that has a matter of dispute with another, presume to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? ² Know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy to decide concerning the smallest matters? ³ Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then, things pertaining to this life. ⁴ If, then, you have controversies pertaining to things of this life, set them to judge who are the least esteemed in the church. ⁵ I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you a wise man, not even one, who shall be able to arbitrate between his brethren? ⁶ But brother goes to law with brother, and this before the unbelievers? ⁷ Now, certainly, you are altogether in fault, that you have law-suits with one another.

Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? ⁸ But you act unjustly, and you defraud, and that, too, your brethren. ⁹ Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

Shall I, then, take the members of the Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? It must not be. ¹⁶ Know you not that he that is joined to a harlot, is one body? For the two, says the scripture, shall be one flesh. ¹⁷ But he that is joined to the Lord, is one spirit. ¹⁸ Shun lewdness. Every sin that a man commits, is without the body; but he that is guilty of lewdness sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? ²⁰ For you have been bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body.

I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, my little children, because you have known the Father. ¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If any man 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 and its desire passes away: but he that does the will of God, abides forever. ¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time; and, as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists; by which 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 remained with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were 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 do not know 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? He is antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son. ²³ "Whoever denies the Son, has not the Father: he that con fesses the Son, has the Father also. ²⁴ Let that, therefore, abide in you which you have heard from the beginning. If that abide in you which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise which he has promised us, even eternal life. ²⁶ I have written these things to you concerning those who deceive you. ²⁷ And the anointing which you have received from him abides in you; and you have no need that any one should teach you: but, as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true and is no lie, even as it has taught you, abide in it. ²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him, that when he appears, we may have confidence, and may not be made ashamed by him at his coming. ²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that works righteousness has been begotten by him.
