¹⁹^(A)On the evening ^(B)of that day, the first day of the week, ^(C)the doors being locked where the disciples were ^(D)for fear of the Jews,^[a] Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ^(E)“Peace be with you.” ²⁰When he had said this, ^(F)he showed them his hands and his side. Then ^(G)the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. ²¹Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.

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. ⁷But ^(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^(H)If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and ^(I)the truth is not in us. ⁹^(J)If we confess our sins, he is ^(K)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and ^(L)to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
