Bible verses about "confessing sins" | Lamsa

⁶ But that you might know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins, then he said to the paralytic, Arise, take up your quilt-bed, and go to your home. ⁷ And he rose up and went to his home. ⁸ But when the crowds saw it, they were frightened, and they glorified God, because he had given such power as this to men.

¹⁵ For I do not know what I do: and I do not do the thing which I want, but I do the thing which I hate. That is exactly what I do. ¹⁶ So then if I do that which I do not wish to do, I can testify concerning the law that it is good. ¹⁷ Now then it is not I who do it, but sin which dominates me. ¹⁸ Yet I know that it does not fully dominate me, (that is in my flesh) but as far as good is concerned, the choice is easy for me to make, but to do it, that is difficult. ¹⁹ For it is not the good that I wish to do, that I do: but it is the evil that I do not wish to do, that I do. ²⁰ Now if I do that which I do not wish, then it is not I who do it, but the sin which dominates me. ²¹ I find therefore, that the law agrees with my conscience when I wish to do good, but evil is always near, distracting me. ²² For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: ²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and it makes me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this mortal body? ²⁵ I thank God through our LORD Jesus Christ. Now therefore with my mind I am a servant of the law of God; but with my flesh I am a servant of the law of sin.

¹⁹ When it was evening on that first day of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were staying for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, Peace be with you. ²⁰ He said this, and then he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw our Lord. ²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you; just as my Father has sent me, so I send you. ²² And when he had said these things, he gave them courage and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ If you forgive a man his sins, they shall be forgiven to him; and if you hold a manÆs sins, they are held. ²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called the Twin, was not there with them when Jesus came.
