Repentance is knowing what he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he never try to do those things with his whole heart, and to do what is right and good in the sight of Jehovah not in the sight of men.

In other words, he regrets his mistake of the past, and tries to live according to the words of God of the truth.

He must proves by the way he lives that he has really turned from all his transgressions and turned to God.



<'Repentance' of a condition God give the Holy Spirit>


(Act2:38)And Peter said to them, <Repent>, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, <for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit>.

(Act2:39)For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who [are] afar off, as many as [the] Lord our God may call.

1 Repentance


(Luk11:32)<Men of Nineveh> shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for <they repented> at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.


(Jon1:1)And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

(Jon1:2)Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

(Jon3:1)And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

(Jon3:2)Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I shall bid thee.

(Jon3:3)And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.

(Jon3:4)And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!

(Jon3:5)And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

(Jon3:6)And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

(Jon3:7)And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water;

(Jon3:8)and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

(Jon3:9)Who knoweth but that God will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

(Jon3:10)And God saw their works, <that they turned from their evil way>; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did [it] not.



1-1 Repentance for remission of sins


(Jer36:3)It may be the house of Judah will hear all the evil that I purpose to do unto them, that <they may return every man from his evil way, and that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin>.


(Jer18:7)At the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy,

(Jer18:8)if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, <turn from their evil>, then I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

(Jer18:9)And at the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant,

(Jer18:10)if it do evil in my sight, that it hearken not unto my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them.


(Act3:19)<Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins>, so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord,


(Act5:31)Him has God exalted by his right hand as leader and saviour, <to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins>.


(Luk24:47)and that <repentance and remission of sins> should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem.


(Mar1:4)There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching [the] baptism of <repentance for remission of sins>.

(Mar1:5)And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.


(Luk3:3)And he came into all the district round the Jordan, preaching [the] baptism of <repentance for [the] remission of sins>,


(Act8:22)<Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and supplicate the Lord, if indeed the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee>;


(Luk17:3)Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and <if he should repent, forgive him>.


(2co7:10)For grief according to God works <repentance to salvation>, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.


(Act11:18)And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed <God has to the nations also granted repentance to life>.



(The meaning of baptism )

(Mat3:11)<*I* indeed baptise you with water to repentance>, but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not fit to bear; *he* shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit and fire;


(1pe3:21)which figure also now saves you, [even] baptism, <not a putting away of [the] filth of flesh, but [the] demand as before God of a good conscience>, by [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ,




1-1-1 Remission of sins


(1jo1:6)If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not <practise the truth>.

(1jo1:7)But if we walk in the light as *he* is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.


(Eze18:21)And <the wicked, if he turn from all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do judgment and justice>, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.

(Eze18:22)<None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him>; in his righteousness which he hath done shall he live.

(Eze18:23)Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; <is it not in his turning from his way, that he may live>?

(Eze18:24)And <when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live?> <None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered>: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

(Eze18:25)And ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear then, house of Israel. Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?

(Eze18:26)When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and practiseth what is wrong, and dieth for it; in his wrong that he hath done shall he die.

(Eze18:27)And <when the wicked turneth from his wickedness which he hath committed, and doeth judgment and justice>, he shall keep his soul alive.

(Eze18:28)<Because he considereth, and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath committed>, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.

(Eze18:29)But the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Is it not your ways that are unequal?

(Eze18:30)Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. <Return ye, and turn from all your transgressions>; so iniquity shall not be your snare.

(Eze18:31)<Cast away from you all your transgressions wherewith ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit>: why then will ye die, house of Israel?

(Eze18:32)For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah; <therefore turn ye and live>.


(Eze33:11)Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

(Eze33:12)And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as <for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness>; neither shall the righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.

(Eze33:13)<When I say to the righteous that he shall certainly live, and he trusteth to his righteousness and doeth what is wrong, none of his righteous acts shall be remembered>; but in his unrighteousness which he hath done, in it shall he die.

(Eze33:14)And <when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth judgment and justice;

(Eze33:15)if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong>; he shall certainly live, he shall not die.

(Eze33:16)<None of his sins which he hath committed shall be remembered against him>: he hath done judgment and justice; he shall certainly live.

(Eze33:17)Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

(Eze33:18)When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and doeth what is wrong, then he shall die therein.

(Eze33:19)And <when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth judgment and justice>, he shall live for these things.

(Eze33:20)Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.


(Lev4:22)When a prince sinneth and through inadvertence doeth [somewhat against] any of all the commandments of Jehovah his God [in things] which should not be done, and is guilty;

(Lev4:23)if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge, he shall bring his offering, a buck of the goats, a male without blemish.

(Lev4:24)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering before Jehovah: it is a sin-offering.

(Lev4:25)And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and shall pour out its blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offering.

(Lev4:26)And he shall burn all its fat on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him [to cleanse him] from his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

(Lev4:27)And if any one of the people of the land sin through inadvertence, that he do [somewhat against] any of the commandments of Jehovah [in things] which should not be done, and be guilty;

(Lev4:28)if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge, then he shall bring his offering, a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.

(Lev4:29)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and slaughter the sin-offering at the place of the burnt-offering.

(Lev4:30)And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put [it] on the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

(Lev4:31)And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, for a sweet odour to Jehovah; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

(Lev4:32)And if he bring a sheep for his offering for sin, a female without blemish shall he bring it.

(Lev4:33)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and slaughter it for a sin-offering at the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering.

(Lev4:34)And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put [it] on the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

(Lev4:35)And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, with Jehovah's offerings by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

[BBE] (1jo3:4)Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.

[NLT] (1jo3:4)Those who sin are opposed to the law of God, for all sin opposes the law of God.

[NIV] (1jo3:4)Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

[DOUAY] (1jo3:4)Whosoever committeth sin committeth also iniquity. And sin is iniquity.


(Dan9:10)and we have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through his servants the prophets.

(Dan9:11)And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside so as not to listen unto thy voice. And the curse hath been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God: for we have sinned against him.


(Jer16:10)And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt declare unto this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? and what is our iniquity? and what is our sin which we have committed against Jehovah our God?

(Jer16:11)then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;


(Lev6:1)And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

(Lev6:2)If any one sin and act unfaithfully against Jehovah, and lie to his neighbour as to an entrusted thing or a deposit or [that in which] he hath robbed or wronged his neighbour,

(Lev6:3)or have found what was lost, and denieth it, and sweareth falsely in anything of all that man doeth, sinning therein;

(Lev6:4)then it shall be, if he hath sinned and transgressed, that he shall restore what he robbed or that in which he hath defrauded, or the deposit, or the lost thing which he found,

(Eze14:13)Son of man, when a land sinneth against me by working unfaithfulness, and I stretch out my hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off man and beast from it;


(1jo5:17)Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.



(Righteousness)

(2sa22:21)Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

(2sa22:22)For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

(2sa22:23)For all his ordinances were before me, And his statutes, I did not depart from them,

(2sa22:24)And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine iniquity.

(2sa22:25)And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight.

1-2 Now God commands all men everywhere to repent


(Act17:30)God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,

(Act17:31)because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.


(Luk11:32)Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.

(Heb1:1)God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,

(Heb1:2)at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

(Deu18:15)Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him shall ye hearken;


(Luk5:32)I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.


(Mat4:17)From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.




1-3 Proof of repentance



(Luk3:7)He said therefore to the crowds which went out to be baptised by him, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath?

(Luk3:8)<Produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance>; and begin not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father, for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

(Luk3:9)And already also the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into [the] fire.

(Luk3:10)And the crowds asked him saying, What should we do then?

(Luk3:11)And he answering says to them, He that has two body-coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.

(Luk3:12)And tax-gatherers came also to be baptised, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?

(Luk3:13)And he said to them, Take no more [money] than what is appointed to you.

(Luk3:14)And persons engaged in military service also asked him saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Oppress no one, nor accuse falsely, and be satisfied with your pay.


[NLT] (Luk3:8)Prove by the way you live that you have really turned from your sins and turned to God. Don't just say, 'We're safe-we're the descendants of Abraham.' That proves nothing. God can change these stones here into children of Abraham.

[BBE] (Luk3:8)Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.

[RSV] (Luk3:8)Bear fruits that befit repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

[NIV] (Luk3:8)Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

[ASV] (Luk3:8)Bring forth therefore fruits worthy repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.


[NIV] (Act26:20)First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds.

[NASB] (Act26:20)but [kept] declaring both to those of Damascus first, and [also] at Jerusalem and [then] throughout all the region of Judea, and [even] to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.

[DBY] (Act26:20)but have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.


(Eze18:4)Behold, all the souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

(Eze18:5)And <if a man be righteous, and do judgment and justice:

(Eze18:6)-- he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, nor come near to a woman in her separation,

(Eze18:7)and hath not oppressed any; he hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath not exercised robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;

(Eze18:8)he hath not given forth upon usury, nor taken increase; he hath withdrawn his hand from unrighteousness, hath executed true judgment between man and man,

(Eze18:9)hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully>: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah.

(Eze18:10)And if he have begotten a son that is violent, a shedder of blood, and that doeth only one of any of these [things],

(Eze18:11)and that doeth not any of those [duties], but also hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,

(Eze18:12)hath oppressed the poor and needy, exercised robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination,

(Eze18:13)given forth upon usury, and taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done <all these abominations>; he shall certainly die; his blood shall be upon him.

(Eze18:14)But lo, if he have begotten a son that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like:

(Eze18:15)-- he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,

(Eze18:16)and hath not oppressed any, nor withholden the pledge, neither hath exercised robbery; he hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;

(Eze18:17)he hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, [and] walked in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall certainly live.

(Eze18:18)As for his father, because he practised oppression, exercised robbery upon his brother, and <did what was not good> among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.


(Mat25:31)But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit down upon his throne of glory,

(Mat25:32)and all the nations shall be gathered before him; and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

(Mat25:33)and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on [his] left.

(Mat25:34)Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from [the] world's foundation:

(Mat25:35)for I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;

(Mat25:36)naked, and ye clothed me; I was ill, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.

(Mat25:37)Then shall <the righteous> answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink?

(Mat25:38)and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee?

(Mat25:39)and when saw we thee ill, or in prison, and came to thee?

(Mat25:40)And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of <these my brethren>, ye have done it to me.

(Mat25:41)Then shall he say also to those on the left, Go from me, cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

(Mat25:42)for I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me not to drink;

(Mat25:43)I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; ill, and in prison, and ye did not visit me.

(Mat25:44)Then shall *they* also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?

(Mat25:45)Then shall he answer them saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, neither have ye done it to me.

(Mat25:46)And these shall go away into eternal punishment, and <the righteous> into life eternal.

(The righteous)

(Luk1:6)And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.


(Eze18:9)hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah.


(Brethren)

(Luk8:19)And his mother and his brethren came to him, and could not get to him because of the crowd.

(Luk8:20)And it was told him [saying], Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, wishing to see thee.

(Luk8:21)But he answering said to them, <My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do [it].>



(1pe3:17)For [it is] better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer [as] well-doers than [as] evildoers;


(Eph2:1)and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins --

(Eph2:2)in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:

(Eph2:3)among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:

(Eph2:4)but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,

(Eph2:5)(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ,(ye are saved by grace,)


(Ecc2:3)I searched in my heart how to cherish my flesh with wine, while practising my heart with wisdom; and how to lay hold on folly, till I should see what was that good for the children of men which they should do under the heavens all the days of their life.

(Ecc2:4)I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;

(Ecc2:5)I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of every kind of fruit;

(Ecc2:6)I made me ponds of water, to water therewith the wood, where the trees are reared.

(Ecc2:7)I acquired servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that had been in Jerusalem before me.

(Ecc2:8)I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the children of men, a wife and concubines.

(Ecc2:9)And I became great, and increased more than all that had been before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

(Ecc2:10)And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them: I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour, and this was my portion from all my labour.

(Ecc2:11)Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that it had cost me to do [them]; and behold, all was vanity and pursuit of the wind, and there was no profit under the sun.


(1pe4:2)no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.

(1pe4:3)For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.

(1pe4:4)Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];


(Tit3:3)For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.


(1jo2:15)Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;

(1jo2:16)because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

(1jo2:17)And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity.


(1th4:3)For this is [the] will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication;

(1th4:4)that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour,

(1th4:5)(not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,)

(1th4:6)not overstepping the rights of and wronging his brother in the matter, because the Lord [is] the avenger of all these things, even as we also told you before, and have fully testified.


(2pe2:12)But these, as natural animals without reason, made to be caught and destroyed, speaking injuriously in things they are ignorant of, shall also perish in their own corruption,

(2pe2:13)receiving [the] reward of unrighteousness; accounting ephemeral indulgence pleasure; spots and blemishes, rioting in their own deceits, feasting with you;

(2pe2:14)having eyes full of adultery, and that cease not from sin, alluring unestablished souls; having a heart practised in covetousness, children of curse;




1-4 Unless you repent


(Luk13:1)Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with [that of] their sacrifices.

(Luk13:2)And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?

(Luk13:3)No, I say to you, but <if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.>

(Luk13:4)Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that *they* were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

(Luk13:5)No, I say to you, <but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.>


(Act3:22)Moses indeed said, A prophet shall [the] Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.

(Act3:23)And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.

(Deu18:18)A prophet will I raise up unto them from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

(Deu18:19)And it shall come to pass that <the man who hearkeneth not unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him>.


(Mat11:20)Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.

(Mat11:21)Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes.

(Mat11:22)But I say to you, that <it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you>.




1-5 No chance to repent


(Heb12:15)watching lest [there be] any one who lacks the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and many be defiled by it;

(Heb12:16)lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright;

(Heb12:17)for ye know that also afterwards, desiring to inherit the blessing, <he was rejected,(for he found no place for repentance)> although he sought it earnestly with tears.


(Heb6:4)For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those once enlightened, and who have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of [the] Holy Spirit,

(Heb6:5)and have tasted the good word of God, and [the] works of power of [the] age to come,


(Heb10:26)For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, <there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins>,

(Heb10:27)but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries.

(Heb10:28)Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses:

(Heb10:29)of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

(Heb10:30)For we know him that said, To me [belongs] vengeance; *I* will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.

(Heb10:31)[It is] a fearful thing falling into [the] hands of [the] living God.


(Mar3:28)Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches [with] which they may speak injuriously;

(Mar3:29)but <whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit>, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin;

(Mar3:30)-- because they said, He has an unclean spirit.


(Mat12:31)For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.

(Mat12:32)And whosoever shall have spoken a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but <whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit>, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming [one].


(Luk12:10)and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to <him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit> it shall not be forgiven.


(1sa2:25)If one man sin against another, God will judge him; but <if a man sin against Jehovah>, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not to the voice of their father, for Jehovah was minded to slay them.


(1ki13:11)Now there dwelt a certain old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words that he had spoken to the king, them they told also to their father.

(1ki13:12)And their father said to them, Which way went he? for his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.

(1ki13:13)And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass; and he rode thereon,

(1ki13:14)and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a terebinth; and he said to him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

(1ki13:15)And he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

(1ki13:16)And he said, I cannot return with thee, nor go in with thee; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place.

(1ki13:17)For it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou wentest.

(1ki13:18)And he said to him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Jehovah saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. He lied unto him.

(1ki13:19)Then he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.

(1ki13:20)And it came to pass as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came to the prophet that brought him back;

(1ki13:21)and he cried to the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the word of Jehovah, and hast not kept the commandment that Jehovah thy God commanded thee,

(1ki13:22)but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come to the sepulchre of thy fathers.

(1ki13:23)And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the ass for him, for the prophet that he had brought back;

(1ki13:24)and he departed. And a lion met him by the way and slew him; and his corpse was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the corpse.

(1ki13:25)And behold, men passed by, and saw the corpse cast in the way and the lion standing by the corpse; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

(1ki13:26)And the prophet that brought him back from the way heard [of it] and said, It is the man of God who was disobedient to the word of Jehovah; therefore Jehovah has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke to him.

(1ki13:27)And he spoke to his sons saying, Saddle me the ass; and they saddled it.

(1ki13:28)And he went and found his corpse cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the corpse: the lion had not eaten the corpse, nor torn the ass.


(1ki20:35)And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.

(1ki20:36)Then said he to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, behold, when thou departest from me, the lion will slay thee. And when he had departed from him, the lion found him and slew him.


(Isa22:12)And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;

(Isa22:13)and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: -- Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

(Isa22:14)And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.


(Luk16:19)Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.

(Luk16:20)And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,

(Luk16:21)and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.

(Luk16:22)And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.

(Luk16:23)And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

(Luk16:24)And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.

(Luk16:25)But Abraham said, Child, recollect that *thou* hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and *thou* art in suffering.

(Luk16:26)And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us.

(Luk16:27)And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,

(Luk16:28)for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

(Luk16:29)But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.

(Luk16:30)But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.

(Luk16:31)And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.
