VERSE OF THE DAYJohn 8:12 (NIV)

EXTRAORDINARY NEWS · QUESTION 052 OF 311

Does God love rapists?

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

This verse is printed here. Compare the passage in NIV.

God's call to repentance reaches even grave wrongdoers. Anyone who has sexually assaulted another person must stop, accept responsibility and never use forgiveness as an excuse for harm.
