Fellowship with Him and One Another

5 ^aThis is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that ^bGod is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

6 ^aIf we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

7 But if we ^awalk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^bthe blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we ^aconfess our sins, He is ^bfaithful and just to forgive us our sins and to ^ccleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we ^amake Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
