9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

5 I acknowledged my sin to You,

And I did not hide my guilt;

I said, "I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord";

And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

3 When I kept silent about my sin, my *body wasted away

Through my *groaning all day long.

13 One who conceals his wrongdoings will not prosper,

But one who confesses and abandons them will find compassion.

5 we have sinned, we have done wrong, and *acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.

5 So it shall be when he becomes guilty of one of these things, that he shall confess that in which he has sinned.

9 *that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

10 for with the heart a person believes, *resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, *resulting in salvation.

23 for all *have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. A *prayer of a righteous person, when it is *brought about, can accomplish much.

8 Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you *double-minded.
