God Is Light, So Walk In The Light

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. 8 If we say - Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us. 9 If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous - that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
