^6 (A)If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we ^(B)lie and ^(C)do not practice the truth; ⁷ but if we ^(D)walk in the Light as ^(E)He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(F)the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

^29 (A)How much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve ^(B)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean ^(C)the blood of the covenant ^(D)by which he was sanctified, and has ^(E)insulted the Spirit of grace?

⁵ The earth is also ^(A)defiled ^[a]by its inhabitants, for they violated laws, altered statutes, and ^(B)broke the everlasting covenant.

⁴ For certain people have ^(A)crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand ^[a](B)marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn ^(C)the grace of our God into ^(D)indecent behavior and ^(E)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁵ Now I want to ^(A)remind you, though ^(B)you know everything once and for all, that ^[a]the Lord, ^(C)after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, ^[b]subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.

⁸ Yet in the same way these people also, dreaming, ^(A)defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak abusively of angelic ^[a]majesties.
