1 John 1:8-2:6
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
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 iniquity.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
2 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.

1 John 1:8-2:6
New International Version
8 If we claim to be without sin,(A) we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.(B) 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins(C) and purify us from all unrighteousness.(D) 10 If we claim we have not sinned,(E) we make him out to be a liar(F) and his word is not in us.(G)
2 My dear children,(H) I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate(I) with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,(J) and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.(K)
Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers
3 We know(L) that we have come to know him(M) if we keep his commands.(N) 4 Whoever says, “I know him,”(O) but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.(P) 5 But if anyone obeys his word,(Q) love for God[a] is truly made complete in them.(R) This is how we know(S) we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.(T)
