What does it mean to be 'clean every wit' according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

'Clean every wit' means being completely purified from sin through Christ’s atoning sacrifice.

The phrase 'clean every wit' refers to a complete and total cleansing of sin, based on the belief that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross provides full redemption for His people. This concept is rooted in the doctrine of justification, where believers stand before God wholly clean and without guilt, as emphasized in John 13:10 and further supported by Revelation 1:5. This implies that, in Christ, the burdens of our sins are lifted entirely, and we receive His righteousness. Although we still contend with the remnants of sin in our daily lives—our 'dirty feet' from walking through a sinful world—we maintain our standing of purity and righteousness through faith in Christ.
