But the Bible indicates that there is a need to confess sins, for it says: “No one who conceals his sins will prosper, whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy. ” ​ — Proverbs 28: 13, The New Jerusalem Bible.
Ent Piibel näitab, et patte on vaja pihtida, sest ta ütleb: „Kes oma patte varjab, ei edene, aga kes neid pihib ja need hülgab, leiab armu. ” — Õpetussõnad 28: 13, The New Jerusalem Bible.
