and that we declare to you:
God is light,
and there is no darkness at all in him.

while we continue to live in darkness,
we are lying and do not live in the truth.

However, if we live in the light
as he himself is in the light,
then we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus his Son
purifies us from all sin.

However, if we confess our sins,
he who is faithful and just
will forgive our sins
and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.
