God Is Light, So Walk In The Light

5 And this is the message which we have heard from him, and are reporting unto you, - that, God, is, light, and in him is, no darkness at all. 6 If we say - We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth; 7 Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.
