Popular Bible Verses from 1 Yochanan 1

Share

If we make vidduy (confession of sin) of chattoteinu (our sins), he is ne'eman (faithful) and tzaddik to grant selicha (forgiveness) of chattoteinu (our sins) and give us tohorah (purification, cleansing) from kol avon.

But if our halakhah is in the Ohr as He is in the Ohr, we have hitkhabrut (joining, adhesion, fellowship) with one another and the dahm of Yehoshua, HaBen of HASHEM, gives us tohorah (cleansing) from kol chet.

If we make the claim that we do not have avon (sin), we cause ourselves to fall under mirmah (deceit, fraud) and HaEmes is not in us.

And this is the Besuras HaGeulah which we have heard from Him and which we proclaim to you, that HASHEM is Ohr (Light), and in Him choshech there is not any at all. If we make the claim that we have deveykus with Him and in the choshech walk, we speak sheker and have no halakhah in the Derech Emes.

If we make the claim that we have not committed averos, a shakran (liar) we make Him, and the dvar of Him is not in us.
