(A)that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed (B)our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing these things so (C)that our[a] joy may be complete.

Walking in the Light

(D)This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that (E)God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

But (H)if we walk in the light, (I)as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and (J)the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (K)If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and (L)the truth is not in us. (M)If we confess our sins, he is (N)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and (O)to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, (P)we make him a liar, and (Q)his word is not in us.
