		<description><![CDATA[I notice that there are two words that the KJV translates as &quot;confess&quot;:

1843 exomologew exomologeo ex-om-ol-og-eh’-o 

from 1537 and 3670; TDNT-5:199,687; v 

AV-confess 8, thank 2, promise 1; 11 

1) to confess 
2) to profess 
2a) acknowledge openly and joyfully 
2b) to one’s honour: to celebrate, give praise to 
2c) to profess that one will do something, to promise, agree, engage 

and

3670 omologew homologeo hom-ol-og-eh’-o 

from a compound of the base of 3674 and 3056; TDNT-5:199,687; v 

AV-confess 17, profess 3, promise 1, give thanks 1, confession is made 1, acknowledgeth 1; 24 

1) to say the same thing as another, i.e. to agree with, assent 
2) to concede 
2a) not to refuse, to promise 
2b) not to deny 
2b1) to confess 
2b2) declare 
2b3) to confess, i.e. to admit or declare one’s self guilty of what one is accused of 
3) to profess 
3a) to declare openly, speak out freely 
3b) to profess one’s self the worshipper of one 
4) to praise, celebrate 

And these words are rendered by *many* different words.]]></description>
