1 John 1:5-7

Expanded Bible

God Forgives Our Sins

⁵ Here is the message we have heard from ·Christ [^Lhim] and now ·announce [proclaim; declare] to you: God is light [^Creferring to God’s truth and goodness], and in him there is no darkness [^Creferring to falsehood and evil] at all. ⁶ So if we say we have fellowship with God, but we ·continue living [^Lare walking] in darkness, we are liars and do not ·follow [perform; practice; act according to] the truth [John 8:12; 12:35]. ⁷ But if we ·live [^Lwalk] in the light, as ·God [^Lhe] is in the light, we ·can share [have] fellowship with each other. Then the blood of Jesus, God’s Son, cleanses us from every sin.
