If we confess our sins

 If we consider ourselves just, we will inexorably slip towards evil; if we recognize ourselves as sinners, we take the road that will lead us away from it.  Let us remember the words of the Apostle John:" If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and wash us from all unrighteousness" (I Jo, I,)

 "Creure's just, és relliscar indefectiblement cap el mal; saber-se pecador, és prendre el camí que n'allunya. Recordem la frase de l'apòstol Sant Joan : "Si confessem els nostres pecats, Déu és fidel i just per a perdonar-nos i rentar-nos de tota iniquitat". 

(Georges Chevrot:  En lo secreto, p.195, Patmos)
