1 John 1
1 He who was from the beginning, whom we have heard, whom we have seen with our eyes, upon whom we have gazed, and whom our hands have certainly touched: He is the Word of Life.
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
2 And that Life has been made manifest. And we have seen, and we testify, and we announce to you: the Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who appeared to us. (aiōnios g166)
(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)
3 He whom we have seen and heard, we announce to you, so that you, too, may have fellowship with us, and so that our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
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.
4 And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full.
And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
5 And this is the announcement which we have heard from him, and which we announce to you: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
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.
6 If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light, just as he also is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
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.
8 If we claim that we have no sin, then we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we claim that we have not sinned, then we make him a liar, and his Word is not in us.
If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
