Bible verses about "apologizing" | Murdock

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but should have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world might live by means of him.

¹⁵ Moreover, if thy brother commit an offence against thee, go and admonish him between thee and him only. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. ¹⁶ But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. ¹⁷ And if he will also not hear them, tell it to the church. And if he will also not hear the church, let him be to thee as a publican and a heathen.

¹ Dare any of you, when he hath a controversy with his brother, litigate before the iniquitous, and not before the sanctified? ² Or know ye not, that the sanctified will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are ye unfit to decide trivial causes? ³ Know ye not, that we shall judge angels? How much more things that are of the world? ⁴ But if ye have a controversy about a worldly matter, seat ye on the bench for you those who are contemned in the church! ⁵ For shame to you I say it. So, there is not even one wise man among you, who is competent to do equity between a brother and his brother: ⁶ but a brother litigateth with his brother, and also before them that believe not! ⁷ Now therefore ye condemn yourselves, in that ye have litigation one with another. For why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why not rather be defrauded? ⁸ But ye yourselves commit wrong, and ye defraud even your brethren. ⁹ Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males, ¹⁰ nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these things have been in some of you: but ye are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God. ¹² Every thing is in my power but every thing is not profitable to me. Every thing is in my power; but none of them shall have dominion over me. ¹³ Food is for the belly; and the belly is for food; but God will bring them both to naught. But the body is not for whoredom, but for our Lord; and our Lord for the body. ¹⁴ And God hath raised up our Lord; and he will raise us up, by his power. ¹⁵ Know ye not, that your bodies are the members of the Messiah? Shall one take a member of the Messiah, and make it the member of a harlot? Far be it. ¹⁶ Or know ye not, that whoever joineth himself to a harlot, is one body with her? For it is said, They twain shall be one body. ¹⁷ But he that joineth himself to our Lord, is with him one spirit. ¹⁸ Flee whoredom. For every other sin which a man committeth, is external to his body; but he that committeth whoredom, sinneth against his own body. ¹⁹ Or know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who abideth in you, whom ye have received from God? And ye are not your own. ²⁰ For ye are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify ye God, with your body, and with your spirit, which are God's.

¹ My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous. ² For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world. ³ And by this we shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this we know that we are in him. ⁶ He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings. ⁷ My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and the old commandment is the word, which ye have heard. ⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear. ⁹ Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and in him is no stumbling. ¹¹ But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. ¹² I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. ¹³ I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one. ¹⁴ I have written to you, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever. ¹⁸ My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time. ¹⁹ From us they went out, 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 so it might be known, that they were not of us. ²⁰ But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person. ²¹ I have not written to you, because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth. ²² Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son. ²³ And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father. ²⁴ And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son. ²⁵ And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal. ²⁶ And these things I have written to you, on account of those who seduce you. ²⁷ And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him. ²⁸ And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming. ²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with every man; and after holiness, without which a man will not see our Lord. ¹⁵ And be careful, lest any be found among you destitute of the grace of God; or lest some root of bitterness shoot forth germs, and trouble you; and thereby many be defiled:

²⁵ And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: Every kingdom that is divided against itself, will become desolate; and every house or city which is divided against itself, will not stand.

³² and be ye affectionate towards one another, and sympathetic; and forgive ye one another, as God by the Messiah hath forgiven us.

⁷ My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from God; and whoever loveth, is born of God and knoweth God. ⁸ Because God is love; and whoever loveth not, doth not know God.

³ Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother transgress, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. ⁴ And if he shall offend against thee seven times in a day, and, seven times in a day, shall turn himself to thee, and say, I repent; forgive him.

⁴ Love is long-suffering, and is kind; love is not envious; love is not boisterous; and is not inflated; ⁵ and doth nothing that causeth shame; and seeketh not her own; is not passionate; and thinketh no evil; ⁶ rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; ⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all, and endureth all.

²³ If therefore thou shalt bring thy oblation to the altar, and shalt there remember that thy brother hath any offence against thee, ²⁴ leave there thy oblation before the altar, and go first and be reconciled with thy brother; and then come and present thy oblation.

¹⁶ And confess ye your faults one to another, and pray ye one for another, that ye may be healed; for great is the efficacy of the prayer which a righteous man prayeth.
