NASB | 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. |
Bible Question:
have to confess each and every sin to be forgiven? |
Bible Answer: Hi, river... Welcome to the forum! Every sin must be forgiven (Romans 6:23) by God through Christ, but not every sin must be confessed to God. When we just confess the sins of which we are aware, that will take us plenty of time. However, there are many sins for which our dull consciences and Biblically ignorant minds fail to recognize. Often we are left, therefore, only with blanket prayer requests: ones in which we ask God to forgive our many sins and search us to make us aware of sin. (See Psalm 139:23). In Him, Doc |
