7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have communion with him in the midst of us, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
