Lord, suppose you kept a close watch on sins. Lord, who then wouldn’t be found guilty?

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?

LORD, if you kept an account of iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

If You, Lord, were to keep account of guilty deeds, Lord, who could stand?

If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

Don’t take me to court and judge me, because in your eyes no living person does what is right.

If I sinned, you would be watching me. You wouldn’t let me go without punishing me.

People should have respect for you alone. Who can stand in front of you when you are angry?

The great day of their anger has come. Who can live through it?”

So no one will be considered right with God by obeying the law. Instead, the law makes us more aware of our sin.But now God has shown us his saving power without the help of the law. But the Law and the Prophets tell us about this.We are made right with God by putting our faith in Jesus Christ. This happens to all who believe. It is no different for the Jews than for the Gentiles.Everyone has sinned. No one measures up to God’s glory.The free gift of God’s grace makes us right with him. Christ Jesus paid the price to set us free.

Even if I hadn’t sinned, what I said would prove me guilty. Even if I were honest, my words would show that I’m wrong.

They kept asking him questions. So he stood up and said to them,“ Has any one of you not sinned? Then you be the first to throw a stone at her.”He bent down again and wrote on the ground.Those who heard what he had said began to go away. They left one at a time, the older ones first. Soon only Jesus was left. The woman was still standing there.

Who can stand firm when his anger burns? Who can live when he is angry? His anger blazes out like fire. He smashes the rocks to pieces.

All of us are like sheep. We have wandered away from God. All of us have turned to our own way. And the Lord has placed on his servant the sins of all of us.

But who can live through the day when he comes? Who will be left standing when he appears? He will be like a fire that makes things pure. He will be like soap that makes things clean.

“ I’m sure that what you have said is true. But how can human beings prove to God they are not guilty?They might wish to argue with him. But they couldn’t answer him even once in a thousand times.

“ Can human beings really be pure? Can those who are born really be right with God?
