⁷ and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

⁸ if we may say -- `we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

⁹ if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

¹⁰ if we may say -- `we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
