⁵^lThis is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that ^mGod is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ⁶ⁿIf we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and ^odo not practice the truth. ⁷But ^pif we walk in the light, ^qas he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^rthe blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸^sIf we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and ^tthe truth is not in us. ⁹^uIf we confess our sins, he is ^vfaithful and just to forgive us our sins and ^rto cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰If we say we have not sinned, ^wwe make him a liar, and ^xhis word is not in us.

Christ Our Advocate

2My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, ^ywe have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. ²^zHe is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but ^aalso for the sins of the whole world.
