"Out-like-say therefore your unmarks one to another, and wish one for another, that you may be healed."
Typically translated "confess", the Greek word is a three part compound word which the Etymological New Testament renders ultra literally as "out-like-say." And what is that which we are saying-like God? Our unmarks. Rather than using the Latin based word "sin" with its heavy theological load, the ENT translates HAMARTIA to reflect its Greek etymology: un-marks. When we miss the mark, it is good to out-like-say so! And the result of this process, as we are honest with one another, is that our lives are healed.
