1 John 1:7–8

⁸For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

¹²The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

⁵And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

⁷In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

¹⁴And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁹He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

¹⁰He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

¹⁴How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

¹¹And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

⁵This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

³⁵Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

¹¹Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

¹⁹But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

¹⁵Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.

⁶This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

³That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁵O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

¹³For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

¹IN that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

⁸And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

¹⁶Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

¹⁷Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

²⁹¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

¹¹And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

¹MY little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

²And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

²Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

⁴I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

⁴I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

³Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

²³For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

²⁰For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

²For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

⁶All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁴He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

¹⁰If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹⁴What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

⁹Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

⁶But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

²And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

³For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

²⁶If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

⁴⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

⁴How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

⁵Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

⁴Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

¹⁸Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

⁶If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

³⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

⁵And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

⁶Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

²For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

²²But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

²I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

¹³And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

¹³But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

³For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

²²For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

²³How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
