< 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 —
WE announce to you that, which was from the beginning, which we have heard, and have seen with our eyes, looked upon, and handled with our hands, that which is the word of life.
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 )
And the life was manifested, and we have seen and do testify and announce to you, the life which is eternal; which was with the Father, and was revealed to us. (aiōnios )
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.
And what we have seen and heard, we make known to you also, that ye may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus the Messiah.
4 And these things write (we ourselves *N(K)O*) so that the joy of us may be completed.
And these things we write to you, that our joy in you may be 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.
And this is the announcement, which we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light, and no darkness at all is in him.
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;
And if we say that we have fellowship with him, and we walk in the darkness, we are liars, and walk not 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 walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all our sins.
8 If we shall say that sin not we have, ourselves we deceive and the truth not is in us.
And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive 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 faithful and righteous, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all our iniquity.
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 say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not with us.
