If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not truly.

But if we walk in the [a]light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, [b]and the (A)blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Footnotes

  1. 1 John 1:7 God is said to be light of his own nature, and to be in light, that is to say, in that everlasting infinite blessedness: and we are said to walk in light, in that the beams of that light do shine unto us in the world.
  2. 1 John 1:7 A digression or going from the matter he is in with, to the remission of sins: for this our sanctification which walk in the light, is a testimony of our joining and knitting together, with Christ: but because this our light is very dark, we must needs obtain another benefit in Christ, to wit, that our sins may be forgiven us being sprinkled with his blood: and this in conclusion is the prop and stay of our salvation.
