< 1 John 1 >
1 We write to you about the Word of life, which has been in existence from the beginning. We write of what we have heard, of what we have seen with our eyes, of what we watched reverently and touched with our hands.
Шта беше испочетка, шта чусмо, шта видесмо очима својим, шта размотрисмо и руке наше опипаше, о речи живота:
2 That life was made visible, and we have seen it. We bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that eternal life which was with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios )
И живот се јави, и видесмо, и сведочимо, и јављамо вам живот вечни, који беше у Оца, и јави се нама; (aiōnios )
3 It is of what we have seen and heard that we now tell you, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
Шта видесмо и чусмо то јављамо вама да и ви с нама имате заједницу; а наша је заједница с Оцем и са Сином Његовим Исусом Христом.
4 We are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
И ово вам пишемо да радост ваша буде испуњена.
5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
И ово је обећање које чусмо од Њега и јављамо вама, да је Бог видело, и таме у Њему нема никакве.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and yet continue to walk in the darkness, our words and our lives are a lie.
Ако кажемо да имамо заједницу с Њим а у тами ходимо, лажемо и не творимо истине.
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.
Ако ли у виделу ходимо, као што је Он сам у виделу, имамо заједницу један с другим, и крв Исуса Христа, Сина Његовог, очишћава нас од сваког греха.
8 If we say, “we have no sin,” then we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Ако кажемо да греха немамо, себе варамо, и истине нема у нама.
9 If we confess our sins, he is just and may be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.
Ако признајемо грехе своје, веран је и праведан да нам опрости грехе наше, и очисти нас од сваке неправде.
10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make God a liar, and his Word is not in us.
Ако кажемо да не сагрешисмо, градимо Га лажом, и реч Његова није у нама.
