6aIf we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we blie and cdo not do the truth;

7but if we awalk in the Light as bHe Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and cthe blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8aIf we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the btruth is not in us.

9aIf we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and bto cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10aIf we say that we have not sinned, we bmake Him a liar and cHis word is not in us.

CHAPTER 2

Jesus Christ Our Advocate

1aMy little children, I am bwriting these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, cwe have an 1dAdvocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

2and He Himself is athe 1propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also bfor those of the whole world.

3aAnd by this we know that we have come to bknow Him, if we ckeep His commandments.

4The one who says, “aI have come to bknow Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a cliar, and dthe truth is not in him;

5but whoever akeeps His word, truly in him the blove of God has been perfected. cBy this we know that we are in Him:

6the one who says he aabides in Him bought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

7aBeloved, I am bnot writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had cfrom the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

81On the other hand, I am writing aa new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because bthe darkness is passing away and cthe true Light is already shining.

9The one who says he is in the Light and yet ahates his bbrother is in the darkness until now.

10aThe one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

11But the one who ahates his brother is in the darkness and bwalks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness cblinded his eyes.

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.
