The apostle says, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.” James 5:16. Confess your sins to God, who only can forgive them, and your faults to one another. If you have given offense to your friend or neighbor, you are to acknowledge your wrong, and it is his duty freely to forgive you. Then you are to seek the forgiveness of God, because the brother you have wounded is the property of God, and in injuring him you have sinned against his Creator.... {FLB 128.2}

Apostlen siger, ”Bekend derfor jeres synder for hinanden, og bed for hinanden om, at I må blive helbredt.” Jak.5,16 Bekend jeres synder for Gud, som er den eneste der kan tilgive dem, og bekend jeres fejl for hinanden. Hvis du har fornærmet din ven eller nabo, skal du indrømme din fejl, og det er hans pligt at tilgive dig ubetinget. Derefter skal du søge Guds tilgivelse, fordi den broder du har såret er Guds ejendom, og idet du sårede ham har du syndet mod hans Skaber. . . .
