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.
