⁷ But if we ·live [^Lwalk] in the light, as ·God [^Lhe] is in the light, we ·can share [have] fellowship with each other. Then the blood of Jesus, God’s Son, cleanses us from every sin.

⁸ If we say we ·have no sin [or have no sin nature; or are not guilty of sinning], we are ·fooling [deceiving] ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because ·we can trust God to do what is right [^Lhe is faithful and righteous/just; Deut. 32:4]. He will ·cleanse [purify] us from all ·the wrongs we have done [unrighteousness].
