< 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 på, nemlig om Livets Ord; -
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life —
2 og Livet blev åbenbaret, og vi have set og vidne og forkynde eder det evige Liv, som jo var hos Faderen og blev åbenbaret for os; - (aiōnios g166)
and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us — (aiōnios g166)
3 hvad vi have set og hørt, forkynde vi også eder, for at også I må have Samfund med os; men vort Samfund er med Faderen og med hans Søn Jesus Kristus.
that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;
4 Og dette skrive vi til eder, for at eders Glæde må være fuldkommen.
and these things we write to you, that your joy may be 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 announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not 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 may say — 'we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk — 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.
and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light — we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse 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 may say — 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;
9 Dersom vi bekende vore Synder, er han trofast og retfærdig, så at han forlader os Synderne og renser os fra al Uretfærdighed.
if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may 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 may say — 'we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
