The following verses are printed directly from the King James Version of the bible.  Underneath each verse in italics is my interpretation of what the verse says, simplified for those of you that don't like Old English

Proverbs 6:16 - "These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among bretheren."

*There are six things the Lord hates.  No, there are seven things that are an abomination to Him.  Being overly proud of yourself, lying, taking the life of an innocent, a heart that devises wicked plans to get what it wants, causing mischief, lying about being somewhere and seeing something when you were never there, someone who causes trouble between others.*

Isaiah 1:18 - "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

*Put matters right between you and God; allow Him to cleanse your sins.  Right now your sins are like a permanent red dye on your soul, but once you give them over to God, He will clean you and make you new.*

Acts 3:19 - "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord"
