the truth.
 If the truth were in us, if that revelation of the divine nature, which is light, Christ our life, were in us, the sin that is in us would be judged by the light itself. If it be not judged, this light-the truth which speaks of things as they are-is not in us. (1 John 1 by J.N. Darby)
 The new nature in us judges all the sin that is in us. He does not deny that we have learned the truth; but if Christ is the truth in me, it must judge all that is of the old man and sin. (Christ, the Want of the Soul: Part 2)
 It is when really the heart and conscience are touched so that I own I personally followed the flesh. It is not a doctrine then. (Christ, the Want of the Soul: Part 2)

If we saye that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

JND Translation Notes

e
In all these cases the verb is in the subjunctive, and puts the case of so doing. I should have translated them "if we should say," etc., but that it is the case in ver. 9 also, where it cannot be done.

If we say that we have no sin, we mislead ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
