"Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.""
— Luke 15:10, World English 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. ”
“In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.””
“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 that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.'
Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
He said, "A certain man had two sons.
The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood between them.
Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
