1 John 1
1 That which was from [the] beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with the eyes of us, that which we have gazed upon and the hands of us handled concerning the Word of life —
This letter is about the Word of Life which existed from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our very own eyes and gazed upon, and which our hands have touched.
2 and the life was made manifest, and we have seen and bear witness and we proclaim to you the life eternal which was with the Father and was revealed to us — (aiōnios g166)
This Life was revealed to us; we saw it and give evidence about it. We are telling you about the one who is Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and have heard, we proclaim (also *no*) to you so that also you yourselves fellowship may have with us; Indeed the fellowship now our own [is] with the Father and with the Son of Him Jesus Christ.
What we have seen and heard we are now explaining to you, so that you may also share in this friendship together with us—this friendship that is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write (we ourselves *N(K)O*) so that the joy of us may be completed.
We're writing to tell you about this in order to make our happiness complete.
5 And is this the (message *NK(O)*) that we have heard from Him and we preach to you that God light is and darkness in Him not is none.
This is the message we received from him and that we declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him at all.
6 If we shall say that fellowship we have with Him and yet in the darkness may walk, we lie and not we do practice the truth;
If we claim to share this friendship with him and yet go on living in darkness, we're lying, and not living in the truth.
7 If now in the light we shall walk as He himself is in the light, fellowship we have with one another and the blood of Jesus (Christ *K*) the Son of Him cleanses us from all sin.
But if we are living in the light, as he is in the light, then we share in this friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us clean from every sin.
8 If we shall say that sin not we have, ourselves we deceive and the truth not is in us.
If we claim to be sinless we only fool ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we shall confess the sins of us, faithful He is and just that He may forgive us [our] sins and may cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
But if we confess our sins, he is trustworthy and right so that he can forgive us our sins and make us clean from all that is not right in us.
10 If we shall say that not we have sinned, a liar we make Him and the word of Him not is in us.
If we claim we haven't sinned, we turn him into a liar, and his word is not in us.
