< 1 John 1 >
1 It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
2 And the Life was made visible, and we have seen it and are bearing witness, and are bringing you word of that Eternal Life which was face to face with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios )
(and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios )
3 It is what we have seen and heard that we are announcing to you, in order that you also may have partnership with us; and our partnership is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Yeshua Meshikha.
4 And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
And we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
5 This, then, is the message that we have heard from him, and are announcing to you, that God is light, and no darkness what ever is in him.
This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say, "We have partnership with Him," when we are passing our life in the darkness, we are lying and are not doing the truth.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not tell the truth.
7 But is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every sin.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yeshua, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves 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 But if we confess our sins, faithful is he and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wrong-doing.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say, "We have not sinned," we are making 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.
