1 John 1:3-7
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship[a] with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing this that our[b] joy may be complete.
God Is Light
5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness[c] at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
