1JN 1:9

9 But God will do what he says that he will do, and what he does is [always] right. So, if we confess to him that we [have behaved] sinfully, he will forgive [us for] our sins and ◄will free us from/remove► [the guilt of] all our sins. [Because of that], [we should confess to him that we have behaved sinfully].
