1 John 1:8 Context
6If we say that we haue felowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not the trueth. 7But if wee walke in the light, as he is in the light, wee haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne. 8If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and the trueth is not in vs. 9If we confesse our sinnes, hee is faithfull, & iust to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to cleanse vs from all vnrighteousnesse. 10If we say that we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.
