1 John 1
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
8 Ref If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Ref If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Ref If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
8 Ref if we may say -- `we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;
9 Ref if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
10 Ref if we may say -- `we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
8 Ref If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us.
9 Ref If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.
10 Ref If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.
