1 John 1:2-10

2 and ¹the life was manifested, and we have ²seen and ³testify and proclaim to you ⁴the eternal life, which was ⁵with the Father and was ⁶manifested to us-

3 what we have ⁷seen and ⁸heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our ⁹fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

4 ¹⁰These things we write, so that our ¹¹joy may be made complete.

God Is Light

5 ¹²This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that ¹³God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

6 ¹⁴If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we ¹⁵lie and ¹⁶do not practice the truth;

7 but if we ¹⁷walk in the Light as ¹⁸He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and ¹⁹the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 ²⁰If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the ²¹truth is not in us.

9 ²²If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and ²³to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 ²⁴If we say that we have not sinned, we ²⁵make Him a liar and ²⁶His word is not in us.
