I am and always will be a sinner. But that's the beautiful thing about Jesus. I'll always try to be a better person in the eyes of God. But I'm not all of a sudden stepping up on a pedestal and saying I'm holier than thou, 'cause I'm not!

If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.

We're all just a bunch of sinners, but we do the best we can.

I consider myself a Christian - a true believer in Jesus Christ - that He died for our sins.

I understand I'm a sinner. I'm not perfect, and I need a Savior, and that I'm not going to make it to Heaven on merits and doing good things.

This is me, a sinner on whom the Lord has turned his gaze. And this is what I said when they asked me if I would accept my election as pontiff. I am a sinner, but I trust in the infinite mercy and patience of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I accept in a spirit of penance.

When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you'd been the only man in the world.

We're all sinners, every one of us. We've all done things we wish we hadn't.

We are all culpable in the death of Christ. My sins, your sins put Him on that cross.
