|  In verses 7 through 9 John warns that we need to walk according to what Jesus showed us and confess our sin if we are to be cleansed of unrighteousness. "If we confess our sins," which would include then sin of [[covet]]ing what is our neighbors.
|-
| '''Questions'''
|-
|* If we say [[covetous practices]] are not a sin and repent not can we honestly say that He is in us or that we have received him into our heart
|-
| * Are we among those who practice [[pure Religion]] or have we believed a lie and gone under a [[strong delusion]]?
|-
| * John goes onto write in [[1 John 2]]:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole [[world]]."
|-
| : What or who is this '''[[world]]''' he speaks of and is their sin also [[covetousness]] like the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]].

=== The Word of Life ===


:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word<Ref name="logos">{{3056}}</Ref> of life<Ref name="life">{{2222}}</Ref>;

:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have [[fellowship]] with us: and truly our fellowship is with the [[Father]], and with his Son Jesus Christ.

:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

=== Walking in the Light ===

:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.<Ref name="notruth">{{notruth}}</Ref>

:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

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

:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth]<Ref name="thetruth">{{thetruth}}</Ref> 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 un[[righteousness]].

:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
