< 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,
That thing that was fro the bigynnyng, which we herden, which we sayn with oure iyen, which we bihelden, and oure hondis touchiden, of the word of lijf;
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)
and the lijf is schewid. And we sayn, and we witnessen, and tellen to you the euerlastynge lijf, that was anentis the fadir, and apperide to vs. (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.
Therfor `we tellen to you that thing, that we seyn, and herden, that also ye haue felowschipe with vs, and oure felowschip be with the fadir, and with his sone Jhesu Crist.
4 And these thinges write we vnto you, that that your ioy may be full.
And we writen this thing to you, that ye haue ioye, and that youre ioye be ful.
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.
And this is the tellyng, that we herden of hym, and tellen to you, that God is liyt, and ther ben no derknessis in him.
6 If wee say that wee haue fellowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not truely:
If we seien, that we han felawschip with hym, and we wandren in derknessis, we lien, and don not treuthe.
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 walken in liyt, as also he is in liyt, we han felawschip togidere; and the blood of Jhesu Crist, his sone, clensith vs fro al synne.
8 If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and trueth is not in vs.
If we seien, that we han no synne, we disseyuen vs silf, and treuthe is not in vs.
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 knowlechen oure synnes, he is feithful and iust, that he foryyue to vs oure synnes, and clense vs from al wickidnesse.
10 If wee say we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.
And if we seien, we han not synned, we maken hym a liere, and his word is not in vs.
