“if we may confess our sins, He is steadfast and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;”— 1 John 1:9 (LSV)
6if we may say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] the truth;
7and if we may walk in the light, as He is in the light—we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of His Son Jesus Christ cleanses us from every sin;
8if we may say, “We have no sin,” we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us;
9if we may confess our sins, He is steadfast and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
10if we may say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
