1 John 1:7-2:1 But if we live in the light, just as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ But if we live in the light, just as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin. ⁸ If we say, "We are without any sin," we are deceiving ourselves, and there is no truth in our hearts. ⁹ If we acknowledge our sins, he is upright and can be depended on to forgive our sins and cleanse us from everything wrong. ¹⁰ If we say, "We have not sinned," we are making him a liar, and his message is not in our hearts. ² ¹ My dear children, I am writing you this so that you may not sin; yet if anyone does sin, we have in Jesus Christ one who is upright and will intercede for us with the Father.
