44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no (A)water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 You gave Me no (B)kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. 46 (C)You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 47 (D)Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
48 Then He said to her, (E)“Your sins are forgiven.”
49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, (F)“Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Then He said to the woman, (G)“Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

Malachi 4:1-3
New King James Version
The Great Day of God
4 “For behold, (A)the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all (B)the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be (C)stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“That will (D)leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But to you who (E)fear My name
The (F)Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
3 (G)You shall trample the wicked,
For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
On the day that I do this,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
