1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of the life;
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; —
2 and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us; (aiōnios g166)
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)
3 that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
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.
4 And we write the same things to you, in order that our joy may be full.
Og dette skrive vi til eder, for at eders Glæde maa være fuldkommen.
5 And the same message which we have heard from him, we also proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness.
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.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Dersom vi sige, at vi have Samfund med ham, og vandre i Mørket, da lyve vi og gøre ikke Sandheden.
7 but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
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.
8 But if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have Synd, bedrage vi os selv, og Sandheden er ikke i os.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Dersom vi bekende vore Synder, er han trofast og retfærdig, saa at han forlader os Synderne og renser os fra al Uretfærdighed.
10 If we may say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have syndet, gøre vi ham til en Løgner, og hans Ord er ikke i os.
