REPENT Luke 13:2-5

Jesus answered, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or 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? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." 

Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 
John 9:2-3  His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"  "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "But this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."

Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them 
John 9:7  "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
John 9:11  He replied, "The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see."

do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 
Job 4:7-8  "Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Where were the upright ever destroyed? As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it." [Eliphaz speaking to Job]
Job 22:5  "Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless?" [again Eliphaz speaking to Job]

I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish 
Matthew 3:2  ... and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
Acts 2:38-40  Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call." With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
