And this is the message which we have heard from him, and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
