Bible verses about "apologizing" | MKJV

¹³ Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

¹⁵ But if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. ¹⁶ But if he will not hear you, take one or two more with you, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. ¹⁷ And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he neglects to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax-collector.

¹ Do any of you dare, when you have a matter against another, to go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels, not to mention the things of this life? ⁴ If, then, you truly have judgments of the things of this life, set those who are least esteemed in the church to judge. ⁵ For I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise one among you, not even one in your midst who shall be able to judge between his brother? ⁶ But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. ⁷ Indeed then there is already on the whole a failure among you, that you have lawsuits with yourselves. Why not instead be wronged? Why not instead be defrauded? ⁸ But you do wrong and defraud, and these things to brothers. ⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals, 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 you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. ¹² All things are lawful to me, but not all things profit. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. ¹³ Meats for the belly and the belly for meats, but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body. ¹⁴ And God has both raised up the Lord, and also will raise us up by His own power. ¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? Let it not be! ¹⁶ Or do you not know that he being joined to a harlot is one body? For He says, The two shall be one flesh. ¹⁷ But he being joined to the Lord is one spirit. ¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have of God? And you are not your own, ²⁰ for you are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

¹ My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. ² And He is the propitiation concerning our sins, and not concerning ours only, but also concerning the sins of all the world. ³ And by 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 whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him. ⁶ He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked. ⁷ Brothers, I do not write a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word which you have heard from the beginning. ⁸ Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true Light now shines. ⁹ He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no offense in him. ¹¹ But he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because darkness has blinded his eyes. ¹² I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. ¹³ I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father. ¹⁴ I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who 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 evil one. ¹⁵ Do not love 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 lust of the flesh, and the lust 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 the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides forever. ¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time. And just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have risen up, from which we know that it is the last hour. ¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out so that it might be revealed that they were not all of us. ²⁰ But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. ²¹ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who denies the Father and the Son is antichrist. ²³ Everyone who denies the Son neither has the Father. The one confessing the Son also has the Father. ²⁴ Therefore what you heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you will abide in both the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise that He has promised us: everlasting life. ²⁶ These things I have written to you concerning those leading you astray. ²⁷ But the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him. ²⁸ And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He is revealed, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him in His coming. ²⁹ If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who does righteousness has been born of Him.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord; ¹⁵ looking diligently lest any fail of the grace of God, or lest any root of bitterness springing up disturb you, and by it many are defiled,

²⁵ And Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.

³² And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God. ⁸ The one who does not love has not known God. For God is love.

³ Take heed to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him. ⁴ And if he trespasses against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, I repent, you shall forgive him.

⁴ Charity has patience, is kind; charity is not envious, is not vain, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave indecently, does not seek her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil. ⁶ Charity does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth, ⁷ quietly covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

²³ Therefore if you offer your gift on the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, ²⁴ leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

¹⁶ Confess faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.
