1 John 1:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ We write this to you so ·we^[a] may be full of joy [our joy may be complete/perfect/come to full expression].

God Forgives Our Sins

⁵ Here is the message we have heard from ·Christ [^Lhim] and now ·announce [proclaim; declare] to you: God is light [^Creferring to God’s truth and goodness], and in him there is no darkness [^Creferring to falsehood and evil] at all. ⁶ So if we say we have fellowship with God, but we ·continue living [^Lare walking] in darkness, we are liars and do not ·follow [perform; practice; act according to] the truth [John 8:12; 12:35].
