1 John 1:9-10

Expanded Bible

⁹ But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because ·we can trust God to do what is right [^Lhe is faithful and righteous/just; Deut. 32:4]. He will ·cleanse [purify] us from all ·the wrongs we have done [unrighteousness]. ¹⁰ If we ·say [claim] we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and ·we do not accept God’s teaching [^Lhis word is not in us].
