May his blessing be upon us.

1 John 1 : 6 - 10
Chapter 1
| 6 | If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
|
| 7 | But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, 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 the truth is not 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.
|
| 10 | If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
|
Do not love the world or the things in the world.
The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Amen.
