1 John 1:3-10

3what we have 1seen and 2heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our 3fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 4These things we write, so that our 5joy may be made complete.

5 6This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that 7God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6 8If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we 9lie and 10do not practice the truth; 7but if we 11walk in the Light as 12He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and 13the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 14If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the 15truth is not in us. 9 16If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and 17to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 18If we say that we have not sinned, we 19make Him a liar and 20His word is not in us.
