Don’t Fooling Ourselves
8-9 If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—make a clean breast of them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing.
– 1 John 1:8-9
The Message Version (MSG)
不要愚弄自己
8-9 若是我們宣稱自己沒有犯過罪,就是在愚弄自己。這種聲明無疑是瞞天大謊。然而,若是我們承認自己的罪——完完全全坦誠相告——祂絕不會棄我們於不顧;祂會忠於祂自己,不但饒恕我們的罪,並且洗淨我們一切的不義。
– 約翰一書一章8-9節
