Note (return) — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 5)
Reading edition
St. John held a high rank among the faithful; yet speaking of the saints, and including himself, he observes—"If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us—If We confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins". [87] St. Paul had before declared that "there is none righteous, and that the Scripture hath concluded all under sin."
