1 Juan 1
1 Lo que era desde un principio, lo que escuchamos, lo que vimos con nuestros ojos, lo que contemplamos y palparon nuestras manos con respecto al Verbo de la Vida
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 (porque la Vida se manifestó y [La] vimos), testificamos. Les anunciamos la Vida eterna, la cual estaba ante el Padre y se nos manifestó. (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 Lo que vimos y escuchamos también les anunciamos, para que ustedes tengan comunión con nosotros. Ciertamente nuestra comunión es con el Padre y con su Hijo Jesucristo.
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 Estas cosas escribimos para que nuestro gozo sea completado.
We're writing to tell you about this in order to make our happiness complete.
5 Éste es el mensaje que escuchamos de Él y les anunciamos: Dios es Luz, y ninguna oscuridad hay en Él.
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 Si decimos que tenemos comunión con Él y vivimos en la oscuridad, mentimos y no practicamos la verdad.
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 Pero cuando andemos en la Luz, como Él está en la Luz, tenemos comunión unos con otros, y la sangre de Jesús su Hijo nos limpia de todo pecado.
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 Si decimos que no pecamos, nos engañamos a nosotros mismos y la verdad no está en nosotros.
If we claim to be sinless we only fool ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Cuando confesamos nuestros pecados, [Él] es fiel y justo para perdonar nuestros pecados y limpiarnos de toda maldad.
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 Si decimos que no pecamos, lo declaramos a Él mentiroso, y su Palabra no está en nosotros.
If we claim we haven't sinned, we turn him into a liar, and his word is not in us.
