LUK 7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
LUK 7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
LUK 7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
LUK 7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
LUK 7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
LUK 7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
LUK 7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
LUK 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
LUK 7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
LUK 7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
LUK 7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
LUK 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
LUK 7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
LUK 7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
LUK 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
LUK 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
LUK 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
LUK 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
LUK 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
LUK 10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
LUK 10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
LUK 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
LUK 10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
LUK 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
LUK 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
LUK 10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
LUK 10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
LUK 10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
LUK 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
LUK 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
LUK 15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
LUK 15:27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
LUK 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
LUK 15:29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
LUK 15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
LUK 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
LUK 15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
LUK 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
LUK 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
LUK 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
LUK 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
LUK 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
LUK 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
LUK 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
LUK 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
JOH 9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
JOH 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
JOH 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
JOH 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
ROM 2:17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
ROM 2:18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
ROM 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
ROM 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
ROM 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
ROM 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
ROM 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
ROM 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
2CO 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
2CO 10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
GAL 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
REV 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
REV 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
