but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

Christ Is Our Advocate

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you on account of His name.

Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

No one who remains in Him sins continually; no one who sins continually has seen Him or knows Him.

the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

No one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin continually, because he has been born of God.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

If anyone sees his brother or sister committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will, for him, give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death; I am not saying that he should ask about that.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

We know that no one who has been born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.
