Mercy and truth
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil (Proverbs 16:6).
By the grace of God and by the truth of the gospel, iniquity is purged. For the backsliding children of God, the knowledge of the word of the truth purges their iniquity.
Men depart from evil when they come to know the saving knowledge of Lord Jesus which creates fear of the Lord in their hearts.
Men commit crimes in society and believers commit sins because there is no fear of the Lord in their hearts. Iniquity is purged when men committing crimes repent and accept forgiveness of their sins through the atonement made by Jesus on the Cross. Iniquity is purged when believers committing sins repent and return to the Lord with sack clothes.
