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 saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of 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 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 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 declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is 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 these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
Og dette skrive vi til eder, for at eders Glæde maa være fuldkommen.
5 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.
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 the darkness, we lie, and do not tell 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 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 to forgive us the sins, and to 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 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.
