I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
