Psalms 119:176
119:176 I have wandered off like a lost sheep.
Come looking for your servant,
for I do not forget your commands.
Matthew 18:12-14
18:12 What do you think? If someone
owns a hundred
sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go look for the one that went astray?
18:13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth,
he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
18:14 In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that one of these little ones be lost.
Luke 15:3-7
15:3 So Jesus told them this parable:
15:4 “Which one of you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go look for the one that is lost until he finds it?
15:5 Then when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
15:6 Returning home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’
15:7 I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need to repent.
Romans 3:10-19
3:10 just as it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one,
3:11 there is no one who understands,
there is no one who seeks God.
3:12 All have turned away,
together they have become worthless;
there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.”
3:13 “Their throats are open graves,
they deceive with their tongues,
the poison of asps is under their lips.”
3:14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
3:15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood,
3:16 ruin and misery are in their paths,
3:17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
3:18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
Romans 3:1
3:1 Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?
Romans 2:25
2:25 For circumcision has its value if you practice the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
