1 Johannes 1
1 Det, som var fra Begyndelsen, det, vi have hørt, det, vi have set med vore Øjne, det, vi skuede og vore Hænder følte paa, nemlig om Livets Ord; —
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
2 og Livet blev aabenbaret, og vi have set og vidne og forkynde eder det evige Liv, som jo var hos Faderen og blev aabenbaret for os; — (aiōnios g166)
(and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us), (aiōnios g166)
3 hvad vi have set og hørt, forkynde vi ogsaa eder, for at ogsaa I maa have Samfund med os; men vort Samfund er med Faderen og med hans Søn Jesus Kristus.
what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Og dette skrive vi til eder, for at eders Glæde maa være fuldkommen.
And we write these things to you, so that our joy may be made full.
5 Og dette er det Budskab, som vi have hørt af ham og forkynde eder, at Gud er Lys, og der er slet intet Mørke i ham.
And this is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Dersom vi sige, at vi have Samfund med ham, og vandre i Mørket, da lyve vi og gøre ikke Sandheden.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
7 Men dersom vi vandre i Lyset, ligesom han er i Lyset, have vi Samfund med hverandre, og Jesu, hans Søns, Blod renser os fra al Synd.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.
8 Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have Synd, bedrage vi os selv, og Sandheden er ikke i os.
If we say that we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us.
9 Dersom vi bekende vore Synder, er han trofast og retfærdig, saa at han forlader os Synderne og renser os fra al Uretfærdighed.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous so that he will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from every unrighteousness.
10 Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have syndet, gøre vi ham til en Løgner, og hans Ord er ikke i os.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
