Verse of the Day

Footnotes

1. 1 John 1:9 tn Or “just.”
2. 1 John 1:9 tn The ἵνα (hina) followed by the subjunctive is here equivalent to the infinitive of result, an “ecbatic” or consecutive use of ἵνα according to BDAG 477 s.v. 3 where 1 John 1:9 is listed as a specific example. The translation with participles (“forgiving,…cleansing”) conveys this idea of result.
3. 1 John 1:9 tn Or “purifying.”
