1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
生命の御言に就きて、素より在りたりし所、我等の聞きし所、目にて見し所、熟眺めて手にて扱ひし所、
2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios g166)
即ち生命[たるもの]顕れ給へり、我等は曾て父の御許に在して、我等に顕れ給ひし永遠の生命を見奉り、之を保證し且汝等に告ぐるなり。 (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
我等が見聞せし所を汝等にも告ぐるは、汝等をも我等に與せしめ、且我等の與をして父と其御子イエズス、キリストと共に在らしめん為、
4 And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
之を書贈るは（汝等が喜びて）其喜の全からん為なり。
5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
第一項 神は光にて在せば、我等は光の子として生活すべし。 然て我等がキリストより承りて汝等に傳ふる所の告は斯なり、神は光にて在し、之に聊も暗黒ある事なし、
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth.
我等若彼に與し奉ると言ひて暗黒を歩まば、是僞りて眞を行はざるなり。
7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
然れど彼が光に在すが如く、我等も光の中に歩まば、是互に相與して、其御子イエズスの御血は、我等を凡て罪より潔むるなり。
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
若我等罪なしと言はば、自ら欺く者にして、眞理は我等の中に在らず。
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
若我等罪を告白せば、神は眞實正義に在して我等の罪を赦し、我等を凡て不義より潔め給ふべし。
10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
若我等罪を犯したる事なしと言はば、神を虚言者とし奉るものにして、御言我等に在らざるなり。
