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.
Přinášíme a dosvědčujeme vám zvěst o tom, co bylo od počátku: o Ježíši, který je živé slovo –
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)
viditelný projev Otcova věčného života. Slyšeli jsme ho, viděli jsme ho, sledovali jsme ho, dotýkali jsme se ho. (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.
Podáváme vám o něm zprávu, abyste se s námi sjednotili, jako jsme my zajedno s Otcem a s jeho Synem Ježíšem Kristem,
4 Also, we are writing these things to you so that our joy will be complete.
aby se tím naše radost vzájemně znásobila.
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.
Předáváme vám poselství, které jsme přijali od Krista: Bůh je světlo a není v něm žádná tma.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth.
Tvrdíme-li, že máme k Bohu dobrý vztah, a přesto setrváváme ve tmě, lžeme a náš život je nepravdivý.
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.
Žijeme-li však stále ve světle Boží přítomnosti, krev Ježíše Krista, jeho Syna, nás očišťuje od každého hříchu a nic neruší náš vzájemný vztah.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Tvrdíme-li, že nehřešíme, pak klameme sami sebe a nechceme si připustit pravdu.
9 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Jestliže však své hříchy vyznáváme, smíme se spolehnout na Boží sliby, že nás očišťuje od každé špinavosti a promíjí nám každé selhání.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar, and his word is not in us.
Říkáme-li, že nic špatného neděláme, obviňujeme Boha ze lži a vůbec ho nechápeme.
