Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

I lift my eyes to the hills – where does my help come from?  My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

I love you, Lord, my strength.
