1 John 1:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not truly.
7 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.
8 (B)[c] If we say that we have no sin, we [d]deceive ourselves, and [e]truth is not in us.

- 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.
- 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.
- 1 John 1:8 There is none but needeth this benefit, because there is none that is not a sinner.
- 1 John 1:8 This place doth fully refute that perfectness, and works of supererogation which the Papists dream of.
- 1 John 1:8 So then John speaketh not thus for modesty’s sake, as some say, but because it is so indeed.
