Institution of the Lord’s Supper
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

“2 Samuel 12:1-11
New King James Version
Nathan’s Parable and David’s Confession
12 Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him: “There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor. 2 The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds. 3 But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him. 4 And a traveler came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him; but he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
5 So David’s anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this [a]shall surely die! 6 And he shall restore fourfold for the lamb, because he did this thing and because he had no pity.”
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more! 9 Why have you despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon. 10 Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 11 Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.

“12:1-4 | When the prophet Nathan came to see David, it was not for encouragement or confirmation but for confrontation. Nathan used a parable to help David see his sin and call him to repentance. Psalms 32 and 51 express David’s intense feelings of guilt and his repentance after Nathan’s prophecy.’
‘12:5, 6 | David’s sense of justice was still alive and well, but he had lost the ability to see his own sin.’
‘12:9 | David broke the tenth commandment (coveting; Ex. 20:17), the seventh commandment (adultery; Ex. 20:14), and the sixth commandment (murder; Ex. 20:13),’
‘12:10, 11 | The price of sin is often much higher than is realized (Ps. 32), even when a person has repented and been forgiven. The consequences of David’s sin toward Bathsheba and Uriah continued for generations. From this time forward, David’s household experienced many violent deaths by the sword, including his sons Amnon (13:29), Absalom (18:15), and Adonijah (1 Kgs. 2:24, 25). David’s son Absalom also took David’s wives (16:22).” (THE JEREMIAH STUDY BIBLE—DR. DAVID JEREMIAH—NEW KING JAMES STUDY BIBLE—WORTHY)
‘. . . “Psalm 32
Amplified Bible
Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David. A skillful [a]song, or a didactic or reflective poem.
32 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven,
And whose sin is covered.
2
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3
When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away
Through my groaning all the day long.
4
For day and night Your hand [of displeasure] was heavy upon me;
My [b]energy (vitality, strength) was drained away as with the burning heat of summer. Selah.
5
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And I did not hide my wickedness;
I said, “I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord”;
And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
6
Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found;
Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him.
7
You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble;
You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah.
8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.
9
Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.
10
Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness.
11
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him];
Shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

Let him who has an ear, hear what the Holy Spirit says to His church. Amen.
Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, with much thankfulness, I thank our LORD-GOD for the tools He has blessed me with to receive all the sweet nectar our LORD-GOD has for me/us, therefore, this is not a correction, but an observation, with my own humble opinion (which I try to keep to an absolute minimum that our LORD-GOD receive all the glory. Amen).
In the above Verse of the AMP (Amplified Bible Version) v.5; is the following;
“I said, “I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord”;”
Beloved, it is my humble opinion, based on the Most Holy Word of GOD, taught by our LORD’S Holy Spirit; that it is impossible for one to confess (ALL) of one’s sins to our LORD-GOD. The reason beloved, I believe this is true;
“Jeremiah 17:9-10

Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.

Beloved, did you pay particular attention to the above Scripture;
“9 “The heart is deceitful above all things,
And [a]desperately wicked;
Who can know it?”
Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, it is my humble opinion that it is impossible for one to confess (ALL) of one’s sins because the heart of a man (Father-GOD Created mankind) is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things; “Who can know it?”
Beloved, only Father-GOD can “know” the heart of man. Amen.
“1 Corinthians 2:11-16
New King James Version
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the [a]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, it is my humble opinion, that when we realize this, that it is impossible to confess (ALL) of our sins to GOD, then beloved, I humbly believe that we can at that time, at least to some extent, comprehend the rest of (Jeremiah 17:10) and begin to praise our LORD-GOD that He in fact has provided the magnanimous blessing of (NOT) giving us what we deserve, according to our ways and our doings: but according to His Love, Grace, and Mercy. Amen. Amen. Amen;
“10 I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the [b]mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.”
Therefore, beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, now we can get the sweet nectar out of this awesome truth in the Most Holy Word of GOD, and praise our heavenly Abba-Father-GOD, our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, and His Holy Spirit, when we know that by His awesome Forgiving-Love, Grace, and Mercy, His Holy Spirit says through the Apostle John;
“1 John 1:9
