5If we say that we havefellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we 6lie and 7do not practice the truth;
7
but if we 8walk in the Light as 9He Himself is in the Light, we havefellowship with oneanother, and 10the blood of Jesus His Soncleanses us from allsin.

11If we say that we havenosin, we are deceivingourselves and the 12truth is not in us.

13If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and 14to cleanse us from allunrighteousness.

15If we say that we have not sinned, we 16make Him a liar and 17His word is not in us.
