⁵ Jesus told us that God is light and doesn't have any darkness in him. Now we are telling you. ⁶ If we say that we share in life with God and keep on living in the dark, we are lying and are not living by the truth. ⁷ But if we live in the light, as God does, we share in life with each other. And the blood of his Son Jesus washes all our sins away. ⁸ If we say that we have not sinned, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth isn't in our hearts. ⁹ But if we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and his message isn't in our hearts.
