If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim to be without sin
Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"?
Jeremiah 2:35 "... you say, 'I am innocent; he is not angry with me.' But I will pass judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned.' "
Romans 3:9-19 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." (Psalm 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20) "Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit." (Psalm 5:9) "The poison of vipers is on their lips." (Psalm 140:3) "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness." (Psalm 10:7) "Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know." (Isaiah 59:7-8) "There is no fear of God before their eyes. (Psalm 36:1)
James 3:2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
