9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you

and stopped trying to hide my guilt.

I said to myself, "I will confess my rebellion to the Lord."

And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude

3 When I refused to confess my sin,

my body wasted away,

and I groaned all day long.

13 People who conceal their sins will not prosper,

but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.

5 But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations.

5 "When you become aware of your guilt in any of these ways, you must confess your sin.

9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.

12 Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.

19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.

16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
