if our hearts condemn us

"if we know that we have sinned and as a result feel guilty"

God is greater than our hearts

For God to be "greater than our hearts" means that God knows more than a person. Therefore he can judge things better than a person can. The effect of this truth is probably that God is more merciful than our consciences would suppose. Alternate translation: "God knows more than we do"
