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. ³And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we ^bkeep his commandments. ⁴Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments ^cis a liar, and ^cthe truth is not in him,

Read in Logos

1 John 1:7: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
