God Is Light

5 aThis is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that bGod is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

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

7 but 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.

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

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

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