1 John 1:5b-2:2
Chapter 1
Light and Sin
We received his message and announced it to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him.If we say we have fellowship with him while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not live in the truth.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we are in fellowship with one another; and the blood of Jesus, the Son of God, cleanses us from all sin.
If we claim, ‘We have no sin,’ we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and his word is not in us.
Chapter 2
My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the righteous one.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins and the sins of the whole world.
