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.”
«Если исповедуем грехи наши, то Он, будучи верен и праведен, простит нам грехи наши и очистит нас от всякой неправды» обещает верное прощение тем, кто честно признаёт свой грех перед Богом. Прощение основано на верности Бога, а не на наших заслугах.

To “confess” is to agree with God about our sin rather than hide or excuse it. The verse invites honesty, not despair.
God’s response is described as “faithful and just” — he forgives because he keeps his promise and because Christ has already paid for sin. Cleansing is complete: “all unrighteousness.”
Does this mean I must confess perfectly to be forgiven?
No. The emphasis is on honest acknowledgment of sin, met by God’s faithful forgiveness through Christ — not on flawless wording or remembering every fault.
