between how 'sinful' you are and the way that you die; in Luke 13 Repent or Perish 1Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2Jesus answered, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them--do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." It's a message that we need to hear - especially following the anniversary of 9/11 - that we all need to repent, and that others' suffering is a warning of what will happen to us. Incidentally the site I cut and pasted that from is a very useful resource - all the versions you've ever heard of on line and searchable for specific words and phrases as well as verses.
