Isaiah 59:1-4

New International Version

Sin, Confession and Redemption

59 Surely the arm^(A) of the Lord is not too short^(B) to save,
    nor his ear too dull to hear.^(C)
²But your iniquities have separated^(D)
    you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
    so that he will not hear.^(E)
³For your hands are stained with blood,^(F)
    your fingers with guilt.^(G)
Your lips have spoken falsely,^(H)
    and your tongue mutters wicked things.
⁴No one calls for justice;^(I)
    no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely^(J) on empty arguments, they utter lies;^(K)
    they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.^(L)

2 Peter 1:5-9

New International Version

⁵For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;^(A) ⁶and to knowledge, self-control;^(B) and to self-control, perseverance;^(C) and to perseverance, godliness;^(D) ⁷and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.^(E) ⁸For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive^(F) in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.^(G) ⁹But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind,^(H) forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.^(I)
