1 John 1:9
_ _ confess — with the lips, speaking from a contrite heart; involving also confession to our fellow men of offenses committed against them.
_ _ he — God.
_ _ faithful — to His own promises; “true” to His word.
_ _ just — Not merely the mercy, but the justice or righteousness of God is set forth in the redemption of the penitent believer in Christ. God’s promises of mercy, to which He is faithful, are in accordance with His justice.
_ _ to — Greek, “in order that.” His forgiving us our sins and cleansing us, etc., is in furtherance of the ends of His eternal faithfulness and justice.
_ _ forgive — remitting the guilt.
_ _ cleanse — purify from all filthiness, so that henceforth we more and more become free from the presence of sin through the Spirit of sanctification (compare Hebrews 9:14; and above, see on 1 John 1:7).
_ _ unrighteousness — offensive to Him who “is just” or righteous; called “sin,” 1 John 1:7, because “sin is the transgression of the law,” and the law is the expression of God’s righteousness, so that sin is unrighteousness. |
1 John 1:9
But if with a penitent and believing heart, we confess our sins, he is faithful — Because he had promised this blessing, by the unanimous voice of all his prophets. Just — Surely then he will punish: no; for this very reason he will pardon. This may seem strange; but upon the evangelical principle of atonement and redemption, it is undoubtedly true; because, when the debt is paid, or the purchase made, it is the part of equity to cancel the bond, and consign over the purchased possession. Both to forgive us our sins — To take away all the guilt of them. And to cleanse us from all unrighteousness — To purify our souls from every kind and every degree of it. |
1 John 1:9
(6) If we confess our sins, he is (g) faithful and just to (h) forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(6) Therefore the beginning of salvation is to acknowledge our wickedness and to require pardon from him, who freely forgives all sins, because he has promised to do so and he is faithful and just.
(g) So then our salvation depends on the free promise of God, who because he is faithful and just, will perform that which he hath promised.
(h) Where then are our merits? for this is our true happiness. |
