13 And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” 16 And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.”
36 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb;
they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
