1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life—
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life;
2 and the Life appeared, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the continuous Life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us— (aiōnios g166)
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and testify, and show to you that eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
3 we declare to you that which we have seen and heard, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;
That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
And these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
5 And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness is not in Him at all;
This then is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 if we may say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] the truth;
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 and if we may walk in the light, as He is in the light—we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of His Son Jesus Christ cleanses us from every sin;
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 if we may say, “We have no sin,” we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us;
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 if we may confess our sins, He is steadfast and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 if we may say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
