Bible verses about "apologizing" | Noyes

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved.

¹⁵ Moreover, if thy brother sin, go and reprove him between thee and him alone. If he listen to thee, thou hast gained thy brother; ¹⁶ but if he do not listen, take with thee one or two more; that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. ¹⁷ And if he disregard them, tell the matter to the church; but if he disregard the church also, let him be to thee as a heathen and a publican.

¹ Doth any one of you, who hath a matter against another, dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the holy? ² Or do ye not know, that the holy will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge in causes of the least importance? ³ Know ye not, that we shall pass judgment upon angels? How much more, concerning affairs of this life? ⁴ If then ye have any causes relating to this life, set them to judge who are of no repute in the church. ⁵ I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not one that will be able to judge between his brethren? ⁶ Nay, brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers. ⁷ Now therefore it is altogether an evil among you, that ye have suits against each other. Why do ye not rather submit to wrong? Why do ye not rather allow yourselves to be defrauded? ⁸ But ye yourselves wrong, and defraud, and that too your brethren. ⁹ Know ye not, that wrongdoers shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the 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 made holy, but ye were accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God. ¹² All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of anything. ¹³ Meats are for the stomach, and the stomach for meats; but God will make an end of both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body; ¹⁴ and God both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power. ¹⁵ Know ye not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid! ¹⁶ Know ye not, that he who is connected with a harlot is one body with her? "For the two," saith he, "shall become one flesh;" ¹⁷ but he that is connected with the Lord is one spirit with him. ¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every other sin which a man may commit, is apart from the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body. ¹⁹ Know ye not, that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and that ye are not your own? ²⁰ For ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

¹ My children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have 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 also for the whole world. ³ And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But whoever keepeth his word, truly in him is the love of God perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him. ⁶ He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. ⁷ Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have 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 now shineth. ⁹ He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him; ¹¹ but he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. ¹² I write to you, my children, because your sins have been forgiven you for his names sake. ¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, my children, because ye know the Father. ¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the Evil One. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loveth 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 is passing away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. ¹⁸ My children, the last time is come; and as ye have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that the last time is come. 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 are not all of us. ²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things. ²¹ I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son. ²³ Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath also the Father. ²⁴ As for you, let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise which he himself promised us, even the life everlasting. ²⁶ These things I have written to you concerning those who seduce you. ²⁷ And the anointing which ye yourselves received from him abideth in you, and ye have no need that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is not a lie, even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. ²⁸ And now, my children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. ²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness hath been born of him.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord; ¹⁵ looking diligently, lest any one come short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and the many be thereby defiled;

²⁵ And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and no city or house divided against itself will stand.

³² and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is from God, and every one that loveth hath been born of God, and knoweth God; ⁸ he that loveth not hath not known God; for God is love.

³ Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. ⁴ And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

⁴ Love suffereth long, is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not herself, is not puffed up, ⁵ doth not behave herself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, maketh no account of an injury, ⁶ rejoiceth not at iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth, ⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

²³ Therefore, if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee, ²⁴ leave there thy gift before the altar, and go away; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

¹⁶ Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
