2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Twelve, and not one of them threatens. Romans 2:4 says it is the goodness of God that leads a person here; Luke 15:7 puts heaven's joy over the one. The single hard line is 2 Corinthians 7:10, on sorrow that only kills.
