Isaiah 1:18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 Come now, let us set things right,[a]
says the Lord:
Though your sins be like scarlet,
they may become white as snow;
Though they be red like crimson,
they may become white as wool.(A)
Footnotes
- 1:18–20 Let us set things right: the Hebrew word refers to the arbitration of legal disputes (Jb 23:7). God offers to settle his case with Israel on the basis of the change of behavior demanded above. For Israel it is a life or death choice; life in conformity with God’s will or death for continued disobedience.
Psalm 65:3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Footnotes
- 65:3 To you all flesh must come: all must have recourse to God’s mercy.
Romans 4:7-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not record.”
