If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we (A)confess our sins, He is (B)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to (C)cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we (D)make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

The Test of Knowing Christ

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, (E)we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And (F)He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but (G)also for the whole world.
