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, —
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have contemplated, and our very hands have felt 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)
(for this Life was manifested, and we saw it; and we testify and declare unto you that eternal Life, which was with the Father, (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.
and was manifested unto us) what we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye also may have communion with us: and our communion 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.
And these things we write unto you, that your joy may be complete.
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.
Now this we have heard from Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him there 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 communion with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practise the truth:
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 communion with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth 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 have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not 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 confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness:
10 If we say—We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.
but if we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
