(For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)<n id="1" />p>

For the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins.<n id="1" />

<p class="otpoetry">&#8220;<i><b>Whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you took no delight inb>.i>p>

Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.p>

so also, after Christ was offered once to <i>bear the sins of manyi>,<n id="1" /> to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin<n id="2" /> but to bring salvation.<n id="3" />p>

But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous,<n id="1" /> forgiving<n id="2" /> us our sins and cleansing<n id="3" /> us from all unrighteousness.

and he was baptizing them<n id="1" /> in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.p>

And when he<n id="1" /> comes, he will prove the world wrong<n id="2" /> concerning sin and<n id="3" /> righteousness and<n id="4" /> judgment &#8211;

If you forgive anyone&#8217;s sins, they are forgiven;<n id="1" /> if you retain anyone&#8217;s sins, they are retained.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

&#8220;Why does this man speak this way? He is blaspheming!<n id="1" /> Who can forgive sins but God alone?&#8221;

But<n id="1" /> those who were at the table<n id="2" /> with him began to say among themselves, &#8220;Who is this, who even forgives sins?&#8221;

Who among you can prove me guilty<n id="1" /> of any sin?<n id="2" /> If I am telling you<n id="3" /> the truth, why don&#8217;t you believe me?

And now what are you waiting for?<n id="1" /> Get up,<n id="2" /> be baptized, and have your sins washed away,<n id="3" /> calling on his name.&#8217;<n id="4" />

For <i>no one is declared righteous before himi><n id="1" /> by the works of the law,<n id="2" /> for through the law comes<n id="3" /> the knowledge of sin.
