Jesus, you have atoned for
our uncleanesses
and transgressions—for all
our sin.
Clearly there is no need
to display our piety;
we only need to call on
you in truth.
Neither is there need
to grieve those who die;
in life and death, you
are near to us.

Ps. 145:18
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
to all who call on him in truth.
Lev. 16:16
Thus he shall make atonement for the sanctuary, because of
the uncleannesses of the people of Israel, and because of their transgressions,
all their sins; and so he shall do for the tent of meeting, which remains with
them in the midst of their uncleannesses.
1 Thess. 4:13
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and
sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who
have no hope.
Matt. 6:1
“Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to
be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. …”
[Jesus to the crowds on the mountain]
