- This is the message
that we have heard from him
and that we declare to you:
God is light,
and there is no darkness at all in him. - If we claim that we have fellowship with 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.
If you abide in me
and my words abide in you,
you may ask for whatever you wish,
and it will be done for you. Do not seek to adorn yourself externally—by the braiding of your hair and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothing. Rather, let your adornment be of your inner self, the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.Next verse!With image
