Walking in the Light

^5 (A)This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that ^(B)God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ^6 (C)If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and ^(D)do not practice the truth. ⁷ But ^(E)if we walk in the light, ^(F)as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(G)the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸ At the same time, it is ^(A)a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because^{[a] (B)}the darkness is passing away and ^(C)the true light is already shining. ⁹ Whoever says he is in the light and ^(D)hates his brother is still in darkness. ¹⁰ Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him^[b] there is no ^(E)cause for stumbling.
