< 1 John 1 >

1 That which was from the beginning—which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched—it is about the Word of life.
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
2 Also, the life was made known, and we have seen it, and we bear witness to it. We are announcing to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and which has been made known to us. (aiōnios g166)
(and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us), (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard we declare also to you, so you also will have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Also, we are writing these things to you so that our joy will be complete.
And we write these things to you, so that our joy may be made full.
5 This is the message that we have heard from him and are announcing to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
And this is the message that 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 that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
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 every 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 Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we say that we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us.
9 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous so that he will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from every unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar, and his word is not in us.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
