1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life, —
We declare to you that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we watched, and our hands have touched, concerning the Word of life.
2 And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age-abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us; (aiōnios g166)
The life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you this eternal life which was with the Father and was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you may also have fellowship with us. Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 And, these things, are we writing, in order that, our joy, may be made full.
We write these things to you so that your joy may be full.
5 And this is the message which we have heard from him, and are reporting unto you, —that, God, is, light, and in him is, no darkness at all.
This 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 say—We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth;
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, but walk in darkness, we lie and don’t do what is true.
7 Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say—Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us.
If we say that we don’t sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth isn’t in us.
9 If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous—that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we admit to our sins, He is faithful and with righteous justice forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say—We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.
If we claim that we haven’t sinned, we call Him a liar, and His word isn’t in us.
