Psalm 51

¹Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
²Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
³For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
⁴Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
⁵Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
⁶Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
⁷Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
⁸Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
⁹Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
¹²Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
¹³Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
¹⁴Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
¹⁵O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
¹⁶For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

6Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
²Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
³For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
⁴But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
⁵For every man shall bear his own burden.
⁶Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
⁷Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
⁸For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
⁹And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
¹⁰As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
¹¹Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
¹²As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
¹³For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
¹⁴But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
¹⁵For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
¹⁶And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
