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
That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life--
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)
the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (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.
that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4 And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
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.
This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth.
If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.
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.
But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
