1 Yochanan 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
We write to you about the Word of life, which has been in existence from the beginning. We write of what we have heard, of what we have seen with our eyes, of what we watched reverently and touched with our hands.
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)
That life was made visible, and we have seen it. We bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that eternal life which was with the Father and was made visible 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, Yeshua the Messiah.
It is of what we have seen and heard that we now tell you, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
We are writing all this to you that our joy may be 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 him and announce to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and yet continue to walk in the darkness, our words and our lives are a lie.
7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yeshua the Messiah 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, 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 say, ‘we have no sin,’ then we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
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 just and may be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.
10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make God a liar, and his Word is not in us.
