Thank you for posting @jdbry.

This is key to staying in fellowship with God.

The word 'confess' is 'homologeo' in the Greek meaning .....to cite, to name the sin. The unrighteousness is a reference to the unknown sins in the life which He, God the Father forgives us at the same time we name our known sin(s).

Keep short accounts.

Note...as taught by a pastor from the original language of the scripture.

Thank for your input on this @bleujay

I do have a copy of the Septuagint from 1851 but for the purpose of these daily verses I have chosen KJV.
