"Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.
Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
This people have I formed for myself, they shall shew forth my praise.
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, neither hast thou laboured about me, O Israel.
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy victims. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.
I am, I am he that blot out thy iniquities for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins."
Isaiah 43.18-19,21-22,24-25

"Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it."
Psalm 41.2-3,4-5,13-14

"And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days.
And it was heard that he was in the house. And many came together, so that there was no room: no, not even at the door. And he spoke to them the word.
And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four.
And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was: and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay.
And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
And there were some of the scribes sitting there and thinking in their hearts:
Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only?
Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts?
Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed and walk?
But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy):
I say to thee: Arise. Take up thy bed and go into thy house.
And immediately he arose and, taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all: so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like. "
Mark 2.1-12

"But God is faithful: for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not: It is and It is not. But, It is, was in him.
For all the promises of God are in him, It is. Therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory.
Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ and that hath anointed us, is God:
Who also hath sealed us and given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts."
2 Corinthians 1.18-22
