(1 John 1:5-9 NIrV)  Here is the message we have heard from him and announce to you. God is light. There is no darkness in him at all.  (6)  Suppose we say that we share life with God but still walk in the darkness. Then we are lying. We are not living by the truth.  (7)  But suppose we walk in the light, just as he is in the light. Then we share life with one another. And the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us pure from all sin.  (8)  Suppose we claim we are without sin. Then we are fooling ourselves. The truth is not in us.  (9)  But God is faithful and fair. If we admit that we have sinned, he will forgive us our sins. He will forgive every wrong thing we have done. He will make us pure.
