[edit] Jesus died and we crucified him.

Acts 2:23 (NIV)

This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.

God forgives that; anything else is forgivable too! (good news)

[edit] Jesus died and we were crucified with Him.

Galations 2:20 (NIV)

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Keep short accounts

1John 1:8-9 (NIV)

Love the unholy

John 15:17 (NIV)

This is my command: Love each other.
