1:7 But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin. 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us. 1:9 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. 1:10 If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.

1 John 1:7-11 BBE

Pauls Definition was:

13:1 If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell. 13:2 And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing. 13:3 And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me. 13:4 Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride; 13:5 Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil; 13:6 It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true; 13:7 Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things. 13:8 Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end. 13:9 For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true: 13:10 But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary. 13:11 When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child. 13:12 For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me. 13:13 But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
