Mazmur 19:13

19:13 Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant ¹  sins;

do not allow such sins to control me. ² 

Then I will be blameless,

and innocent of blatant ³  rebellion.

Lukas 19:8

19:8 But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now give ⁴  to the poor, and if ⁵  I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!”

1 Timotius 1:13

1:13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor, and an arrogant ⁶  man. But I was treated with mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief,

1 Timotius 1:15

1:15 This saying ⁷  is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” – and I am the worst of them! ⁸ 

[19:13]  ¹ tn Or “presumptuous.”

[19:13]  ² tn Heb “let them not rule over me.”

[19:13]  ³ tn Heb “great.”

[19:8]  ⁴ sn Zacchaeus was a penitent man who resolved on the spot to act differently in the face of Jesus’ acceptance of him. In resolving to give half his possessions to the poor, Zacchaeus was not defending himself against the crowd’s charges and claiming to be righteous. Rather as a result of this meeting with Jesus, he was a changed individual. So Jesus could speak of salvation coming that day (v. 9) and of the lost being saved (v. 10).

[19:8]  ⁵ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text. It virtually confesses fraud.

[1:13]  ⁶ tn Or “violent,” “cruel.”

[1:15]  ⁷ tn Grk “the saying,” referring to the following citation (see 1 Tim 3:1; 4:9; 2 Tim 2:11; Titus 3:8 for other occurrences of this phrase).

[1:15]  ⁸ tn Grk “of whom I am the first.”
