Leviticus 6:7

and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord; and it shall be forgiven him for anything of all that he hath done in trespassing therein, as in the trespass-offering which was concerned exclusively with the Lord, Leviticus 5:14; for these verses really belong to that paragraph and are so given in the Hebrew text. If Christians have been overcome by sin and are in any way guilty over against their neighbors, they should hasten to confess their sins and ask God for forgiveness in Christ Jesus, At the same time it is self-evident that they will make amends as quickly as possible, and as far as in their power lies.
