Walking in the Light

5 1This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that 2God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 3If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and 4do not practice the truth.
7 But 5if we walk in the light, 6as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and 7the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and 9the truth is not in us.
9 10If we confess our sins, he is 11faithful and just to forgive us our sins and 12to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say we have not sinned, 13we make him a liar, and 14his word is not in us.
