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.
