And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: 

God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 

If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 

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.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

1 John 1:5-10
