1 John 1:8

---

← 1 John 1:7	1 John 1:8 (KJV)	1 John 1:9 →
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.	If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.	If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
