1 John1:6
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness , we lie, and do not the truth:
Light and Darkness and frequently put for Holiness and Wickedness, Luke 16.8. Rom. 13.12. Eph. 5.8. 1 Thess. 5.5. The Summ then is, That if any pretend to friendship with God, or to have received holy and gracious influences from him, and do yet lead wicked Lives, they are Liars, even guilty of a practical Lie, doing what makes their Profession false and insincere.
