8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. 1 John 1: 8 - 10 Interpretation- The first scripture is saying if you say that you are without sin that you are deceiving yourself and that is a sin within itself therefore you are a sinner.
