¹² I am writing these things to all of you, my little children, because your sins have been forgiven in the name of Jesus our Savior.

²² A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick.

²⁴ He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!
