III. Paraphrasing the Word of God (5 points Each)

31 - 35. 1 John 1:8-9

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Paraphrase it:

If we say, “We have no sin,” we deny the fact that all imperfect humans are sinful, and “the truth is not
in us.” But God is “faithful” and forgives us “if we confess our sins” to him with a repentant attitude
that moves us to abandon wrongdoing.

36 - 40. 1 John 5:11-13

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has
life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in
the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Paraphrase it:

God himself has borne witness concerning his Son. “If we receive [as truthful] the witness
[imperfect] men give [as we customarily do in conversation and in court], the witness God
gives is greater.” Since ‘God cannot lie,’ we can place implicit trust in ‘the witness he has borne
concerning his Son.’ And Jehovah has said that Jesus Christ is his Son. Moreover, God was
behind the “three witness bearers,” that is, His holy spirit, the water of Jesus’ baptism, and
Christ’s shed blood.
