— Luke 15:10, NET Bible
“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”
“Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. ”
“Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."”
“So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.”
“Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.”
“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”
I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need to repent.
“Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?
Then when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying,‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’
In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
The Parable of the Compassionate Father Then Jesus said,“A man had two sons.
The younger of them said to his father,‘Father, give me the share of the estate that will belong to me.’ So he divided his assets between them.
After a few days, the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth with a wild lifestyle.
