5And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all; 6if we may say—‘we have fellowship with Him,’ and in the darkness may walk—we lie, and do not the truth; 7and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light—we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin.
8If we may say—‘we have not sin,’ ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us; 9if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness; 10if we may say—‘we have not sinned,’ a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
Chapter 2
1My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one, 2and he—he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3And in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep; 4he who is saying, ‘I have known him,’ and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not; 5and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are. 6He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.
7Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning—the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning; 8again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine; 9he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now; 10he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not; 11and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.
