Our sins testify against us and we know our iniquities: transgressing, and denying the LORD, and turning back from following our God. 1
But we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins. 2 Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his sins. 3
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. 4 He was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned – every one – to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all, 5 having forgiven us all our trespasses, by cancelling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 6
He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. 7
The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8
