If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth;

If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.

[So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents].

If we say that things in common we are having with Him, and thus fellowship, and in the sphere of the aforementioned darkness are habitually ordering our behavior, we are lying, and we are not doing the truth.

Consequently, if we were to say that we enjoyed fellowship with Him and still went on living in darkness, we should be both telling and living a lie.

If we say "We have fellowship with Him," and yet live in darkness, we are lying and not practicing the truth.
