John 15:22

NKJ: If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

NIV: I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.

COMMENT: Because I heard the gospel, I am now responcible for my sin. Jesus said, here is the way, now it's up to me to take action for my sin. Tis way is beleiving in Jesus Christ, accepting Him as my saviour, His sacrifice, His payment for my sin as for my own. Now that I have heard His gospel, I have no excuse for my sin. I hope this came out right.

FYI: Read the entire passage for context. Read John 3:16 for "The Way".

John 13:10

NKJ:
Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

NIV:
Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you."

COMMENT:
We all fall and are sinners. Even when saved, we are far from perfect. Thank you Jesus for paying for my sins.

FYI:
"but not all", "though not every one of you", talks about Judas -> John 13:11 says "For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean".
