約翰一書 1
1 論到那從起初就有的生命的聖言，就是我們聽見過，我們親眼看見過，瞻仰過，以及我們親手摸過的生命的聖言－－
We declare to you that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we watched, and our hands have touched, concerning the Word of life.
The life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you this eternal life which was with the Father and was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 我們將所見所聞的傳報給你們，為使你們也同我們相通；原來我們是同父和他的子耶穌基督相通的。
That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you may also have fellowship with us. Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 我們給你們寫這些事，是為叫我們的喜樂得以圓滿。
We write these things to you so that your joy may be full.
5 我們由他所聽見，而傳報給你們的，就是這個信息：天主是光，在他內沒有一點黑暗。
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you: that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 如果我們說我們與他相通，但仍在黑暗中行走，我們就是說謊，不履行真理。
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, but walk in darkness, we lie and don’t do what is true.
7 但如果我們在光中行走，如同他在光中一樣，我們就彼此相通，他聖子耶穌的血就會洗淨我們的各種罪過。
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 如果我們說我們沒有罪過，就是欺騙自己，真理也不在我們內。
If we say that we don’t sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth isn’t in us.
9 但若我們明認我們的罪過，天主既是忠信正義的，必赦免我們的罪過，並洗淨我們的各種不義。
If we admit to our sins, He is faithful and with righteous justice forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
10 如果我們說我們沒有犯過罪，我們就是拿他當說謊者，他的話就不在我們內。
If we claim that we haven’t sinned, we call Him a liar, and His word isn’t in us.
