1 John 1:9-10

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 we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word 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 we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar
