Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness

⁵This 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. ⁶If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness,^(C) we lie and do not live out the truth.^(D) ⁷But 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)

⁸If we claim to be without sin,^(G) we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.^(H) ⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins^(I) and purify us from all unrighteousness.^(J)
