1Jn 1:6. Ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, if we say) To say anything at variance with the fact, is fraud: 1Jn 1:8; 1Jn 1:10. So he that saith, ch. 1Jn 2:4; 1Jn 2:9; if a man say, ch. 1Jn 4:20. To say, is to persuade one’s self and others, to think, to bear before one’s self [to profess openly], to pretend.-κοινωνίαν, fellowship) 1Jn 1:3.-ἐν τῷ σκότει, in darkness) Comp. ch. 1Jn 2:8-11.-περιπατῶμεν, we walk) by internal and external action, wherever we turn ourselves.-ψευδόμεθα, we lie) A similar expression occurs, ch. 1Jn 2:4.-οὐ ποιοῦμεν τὴν ἀλήθειαν, we do not the truth) that is, the truth has no place with us in our very action.
