Bible verses about "conviction" | Riverside

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness:

³⁷ Hearing this they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "What shall we do, brethren?"

⁸ And he, when he comes, will convince the world regarding sin and regarding righteousness and regarding judgment —

¹⁹ This is the condemnation, that Light has come into the world and men have loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were wicked. ²⁰ Every one who is doing base things hates the Light and does not come to the Light, that his deeds may not be reproved. ²¹ But he who is doing the truth comes to the Light, that it may be plainly shown that his deeds have been done in union with God.

⁹ but I am glad now, not that you were grieved, but that your grief led to a change of heart. You were grieved as God approves so that you should in nothing suffer loss from us. ¹⁰ For such grief as God approves works a change of heart leading to salvation and is never to be regretted. But the grief of the world results in death.
