The forgiveness of sins is free. It is “without money and without price.” We can do nothing to merit it, or prepare ourselves for it. When God pardons, He pardons:
罪的赦免是白白的。它是”不用银钱，不用代价的。”我们无法靠行为赚得它，也无法为它预备自己。当神赦免时，祂赦免：
all sins,
所有的罪，
original sin and actual sin,
原罪和本罪，
sins of omission and of commission,
疏忽的罪和犯罪的行为，
secret and open sins,
隐秘的罪和公开的罪，
sins of thought, word and deed.
意念、言语和行为的罪。

To those who believe in Jesus, all is freely forgiven. Full pardon, or none at all, is what God gives. Nor is this gift ever revoked by God. When He forgives, He forgives forever!
对于那些信靠耶稣的人，一切都白白被赦免。神给予的是完全的赦免，要么全部，要么全无。这恩赐也永不会被神收回。当祂赦免时，祂就永远赦免！
