Tim. 1.23. I before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an oppressor: but I was received to mercy, for I did it ignorantly through unbelief. Nomb. 35.22, 23, 24. If he pushed him unadvisedly and not of hatred, or cast upon him any thing without laying of wait, or any stone (whereby he might be slain) and saw him not, or caused it to fall upon him, and he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought him any harm: then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood, according to these laws. 1. Cor. 4 4. I know nothing by my self, yet am I not thereby justified. Psal. 19:13. Cleanse me from my secret sins.
