Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness
5 This is the message we have heard(A) from him and declare to you: God is light;(B) in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness,(C) we lie and do not live out the truth.(D) 7 But if we walk in the light,(E) as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[a] sin.(F)
