1 John 1:7-10
New Living Translation
7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.

1 John 1:7-10
The Message
6-7 If we claim that we experience a shared life with him and continue to stumble around in the dark, we’re obviously lying through our teeth—we’re not living what we claim. But if we walk in the light, God himself being the light, we also experience a shared life with one another, as the sacrificed blood of Jesus, God’s Son, purges all our sin.
8-10 If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God.

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
7 Pero si andamos en la Luz(A), como Él está en la Luz(B), tenemos comunión los unos con los otros, y la sangre de Jesús Su Hijo nos limpia de todo pecado(C).
8 Si decimos que no tenemos pecado(D), nos engañamos a nosotros mismos y la verdad no está en nosotros(E). 9 Si confesamos nuestros pecados(F), Él es fiel y justo para perdonarnos los pecados y para limpiarnos de toda maldad[a](G). 10 Si decimos que no hemos pecado(H), lo hacemos a Él mentiroso(I) y Su palabra no está en nosotros(J).
