Usage : {
To Confess }, {
Acknowledge }, {
Avow }.
Acknowledge is opposed to conceal .
We acknowledge what we feel must or ought to be made known . (
See {
Acknowledge }.)
Avow is opposed to withhold .
We avow when we make an open and public declaration ,
as against obloquy or opposition ;
as ,
to avow one '
s principles ;
to avow one '
s participation in some act .
Confess is opposed to deny .
We confess (
in the ordinary sense of the word )
what we feel to have been wrong ;
as ,
to confess one '
s errors or faults .
We sometimes use confess and acknowledge when there is no admission of our being in the wrong ;
as ,
this ,
I confess ,
is my opinion ;
I acknowledge I have always thought so ;
but in these cases we mean simply to imply that others may perhaps think us in the wrong ,
and hence we use the words by way of deference to their opinions .
It was in this way that the early Christians were led to use the Latin confiteor and confessio fidei to denote the public declaration of their faith in Christianity ;
and hence the corresponding use in English of the verb confess and the noun confession .
