| No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. | He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. |
| No one who denies the Son has the Father; everyone who confesses the Son has the Father also. | Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. |
|
| For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. | For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. |
| God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God. | Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. |
| By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming; and now it is already in the world. | Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. |
| If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. | Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. |
| When you realize your guilt in any of these, you shall confess the sin that you have committed. | And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing. |
