1 John 1:4-9
New King James Version
4 And these things we write to you (A)that [a]your joy may be full.
Fellowship with Him and One Another
5 (B)This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that (C)God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 (D)If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we (E)walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and (F)the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we (G)confess our sins, He is (H)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to (I)cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
