Col. 1:25
of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,
Psalm 51:1-6
Have mercy on me,[a] O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
2
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
3
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
5
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6
Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
