    5God Is Light, So We Must Walk in the Light Now this is the gospel message we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.

    6If we say we have fellowship with him and yet keep on walking in the darkness, we are lying and not practicing the truth.

    7But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

    8If we say we do not bear the guilt of sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
