1:9But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous,22 forgiving23 us our sins and cleansing24 us from all unrighteousness.

Read in Logos
1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Footnotes

  1. 22 Or “just.”
  2. 23 The ἵνα (hina) followed by the subjunctive is here equivalent to the infinitive of result, an “ecbatic” or consecutive use of ἵνα according to 3 where 1 John 1:9 is listed as a specific example. The translation with participles (“forgiving, … cleansing”) conveys this idea of result.
  3. 24 Or “purifying.”
