1 John 1:7-2:2

English Standard Version

⁷ But ^(A)if we walk in the light, ^(B)as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(C)the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. ^8 (D)If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and ^(E)the truth is not in us. ^9 (F)If we confess our sins, he is ^(G)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and ^(H)to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say we have not sinned, ^(I)we make him a liar, and ^(J)his word is not in us.

Christ Our Advocate

2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, ^(K)we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. ^2 (L)He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but ^(M)also for the sins of the whole world.
