Walking in the Light
5 # ch. 3:11 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that #James 1:17; [ch. 4:8; John 4:24]God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6#ch. 2:11; John 12:35; 2 Cor. 6:14 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and #John 3:21do not practice the truth. 7But #[Isa. 2:5] if we walk in the light, #[Ps. 104:2; 1 Tim. 6:16] as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and #Eph. 1:7; Heb. 9:14; 1 Pet. 1:19; Rev. 5:9; 7:14; 12:11the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8#[Job 15:14; Jer. 2:35]; See James 3:2 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and #ch. 2:4the truth is not in us. 9#Ps. 32:5; 51:3; Prov. 28:13 If we confess our sins, he is #[Ps. 143:1; Rom. 3:26] faithful and just to forgive us our sins and #[See ver. 7 above]to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say we have not sinned, #ch. 5:10 we make him a liar, and #John 5:38; 8:37his word is not in us.

1That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life; 2(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:) 3that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4And these things write we to you that your joy may be full.
5And this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise the truth. 7But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
