1 John 1:7-8

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

 

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. (see verses 1-8)

 

If we claim to be without sin,

Ecclesiastes 7:20  Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.

we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 

John 8:44  "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (see verses 31-47)

1 John 3:8  The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. (see verses 4-10)
