(There was never anyone like Ahab,
who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, urged on by Jezebel his wife.
He behaved in the vilest manner by going after idols, like the Amorites the Lord drove out before Israel.)
I Kings 21:25-26 | New International Version (NIV)
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I John 1:9 (NIV)
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift
of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 (NIV)
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 (NIV)
