God Is Light. We Have an Advocate. 5 And 3this is the message \ve have heard from Him and announce to you, that bGod is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. . . \ ■ / - 6 ill we say that,we have feUowshi'pAvith Him and yet walk in the darkness, we blie and cdo not practice the truth; 7 biit if we.awalk in the light as Hie Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and cthe blood of Jesus His Son Cleanses; us from all sin. . ' ; 8 aIf we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving our selves, and the btruth is not in us. 9 aIf we confess our sins. He is faithful and righteous to .forgive us.otir sins and bto cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 aIf we sav that vve have not sinned, we bmake Him a liar, 3 nd cHis word is not in us. C hapter 2 M y little children, I am writing bthese things to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, cwe.hav.e an ldAdvocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2 and He Himself is athe propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also bfor those of the whole world. 3 And aby this we know that we have come to bknow Him, if we ckeep His commandments. 4 The one who says, “aI have come to bknow Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a cliar, and dthe truth is not in him; 5 but whoever akeeps His word, in him the Move of God has truly been perfected. cBy this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he aabides in Him bought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. 7 aBeloved, I am bnot writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you 'have had cfrom the beginning; the old comiViandment is the word which you have heard. 8 ’On the other hand, I am writing aa new command ment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because bthe darkness is passing.away, and cthe true light is already shining. 9 The one who says he is in the light and yet pates his bbrother is in the darkness until now. 10 aThe one who loves his brother abides in the light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But the one who Pates his brother is in the darkness and Kvalks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has Plinded his eyes. 12 I am writing to von.
