Matthew Chapter 5 : 41-48 - World English Bible [WEB]

  • World English Bible [WEB]
  • 41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
  • 42 Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
  • 43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
  • 44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
  • 45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
  • 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
  • 47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
  • 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
  • American Standard Version [ASV]
  • 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
  • 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
  • 43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:
  • 44 but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;
  • 45 that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.
  • 46 For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
  • 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others?] do not even the Gentiles the same?
  • 48 Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

What is the Sinner's Prayer for Salvation?

The sinners prayer is a common Christian term for a prayer that is said when someone wants to repent of their sin, ask God for forgiveness, and verbally state their belief in the life, death, and saving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

"For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with their hearts people believe and so attain to righteousness, while with their lips they make their Profession of faith and so find salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Christ's death on the cross paid in full the debt of our sin. Action must be taken to take hold of the gift.

Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and there is nothing that I can do to save myself. I confess my complete helplessness to forgive my own sin or to work my way to heaven through any good works. At this moment I trust Christ alone and receive by faith all Grace purchased by Jesus as the One who bore my sin when He died on the cross. I believe that He did all that will ever be necessary for me to stand in your holy presence. I thank you that Christ was raised from the dead as a guarantee of my own resurrection. As best as I can, I now transfer my trust to Him and by my faith take hold of His grace and love for me. I am grateful that He has promised to receive me despite my many sins and failures. Thank you for your word that will guide me as to how I should live my remaining days. Please grant me the wisdom to discern correctly and motivation to grow my faith, obedience, understanding, appreciation, and love for you. Thank you for your Grace and mercy that I do not deserve. Thank you that my salvation is not based on my level of performance in my short life but in my receiving what your victory on the cross did pay for. Thank you that I can receive by my faith alone, your glorious gift of salvation. Thank you for hearing this prayer and for saving me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
