Quotations about confession

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 13:6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

	Quotations about confession

Say not, I sinned, and what happened to me?
For the Lord is longsuffering.
Concerning atonement, be not without fear,
To add sin upon sins:
And say not, His compassion is great;
He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins:
For mercy and wrath are with him,
And his indignation will rest upon sinners.
Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord;
And put not off from day to day:
For suddenly will the wrath of the Lord come forth;
And you will perish in the time of vengeance.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 5:4-7

Be not ashamed to make confession of your sins;
And force not the current of the river.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 4:26

Therefore, keep your conscience good and you will always enjoy happiness, for a good conscience can bear a great deal and can bring joy even in the midst of adversity.

Thomas À Kempis "The Imitation Of Christ"

He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

Proverbs 28:13
