< Первое послание Иоанна 1 >

1 Еже бе исперва, еже слышахом, еже видехом очима нашима, еже узрехом, и руки нашя осязаша, о Словеси животнем:
We write to you about the Word of life, which has been in existence from the beginning. We write of what we have heard, of what we have seen with our eyes, of what we watched reverently and touched with our hands.
2 и живот явися, и видехом, и свидетелствуем, и возвещаем вам живот вечный, иже бе у Отца и явися нам: (aiōnios g166)
That life was made visible, and we have seen it. We bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that eternal life which was with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 еже видехом и слышахом, поведаем вам, да и вы общение имате с нами: общение же наше со Отцем и с Сыном Его Иисусом Христом.
It is of what we have seen and heard that we now tell you, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 И сия пишем вам, да радость ваша будет исполнена.
We are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
5 И сие есть обетование, еже слышахом от Него и поведаем вам, яко Бог свет есть, и тмы в Нем несть ни единыя.
This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
6 Аще речем, яко общение имамы с Ним, и во тме ходим, лжем и не творим истины:
If we say that we have fellowship with him and yet continue to walk in the darkness, our words and our lives are a lie.
7 аще же во свете ходим, якоже Сам Той есть во свете, общение имамы друг ко другу, и Кровь Иисуса Христа Сына Его очищает нас от всякаго греха.
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 all sin.
8 Аще речем, яко греха не имамы, себе прельщаем, и истины несть в нас.
If we say, “we have no sin,” then we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Аще исповедаем грехи нашя, верен есть и праведен да оставит нам грехи нашя и очестит нас от всякия неправды.
If we confess our sins, he is just and may be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.
10 Аще речем, яко не согрешихом, лжа творим Его, и слово Его несть в нас.
If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make God a liar, and his Word is not in us.
