< 1 John 1 >

1 That which was from the beginning, which wee haue heard, which wee haue seene with these our eyes, which wee haue looked vpon, and these handes of ours haue handled of that Word of life,
We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life.
2 (For that life was made manifest, and wee haue seene it, and beare witnes, and shewe vnto you that eternall life, which was with the Father, and was made manifest vnto vs) (aiōnios g166)
This life was revealed; we have seen it, and we testify and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father and that was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 That, I say, which wee haue seene and heard, declare wee vnto you, that yee may also haue fellowship with vs, and that our fellowship also may be with the Father, and with his Sonne Iesvs Christ.
What we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these thinges write we vnto you, that that your ioy may be full.
We are writing these things to you so that our joy may be full.
5 This then is the message which wee haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenes.
This is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
6 If wee say that wee haue fellowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not truely:
If we say that we have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
7 But if we walke in the light as he is in the light, we haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne.
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 say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and trueth is not in vs.
If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we acknowledge our sinnes, he is faithfull and iust, to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If wee say we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
