1 John 1:7

⁸For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

¹²The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.

⁵and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

⁷In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

¹⁴I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.^[+] They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

¹⁴how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

⁹He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now. ¹⁰He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

¹¹Some of you were such, but you were washed. You were sanctified. You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

⁵This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

³⁵Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
