1 He who was from the beginning, whom we have heard, whom we have seen with our eyes, upon whom we have gazed, and whom our hands have certainly touched: He is the Word of Life. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 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—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
2 And that Life has been made manifest. And we have seen, and we testify, and we announce to you: the Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who appeared to us. the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.
3 He whom we have seen and heard, we announce to you, so that you, too, may have fellowship with us, and so that our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full. And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. We write this to make our joy complete.
5 And this is the announcement which we have heard from him, and which we announce to you: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness. This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
6 If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light, just as he also is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. 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. 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, purifies us from all sin.
8 If we claim that we have no sin, then we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we claim that we have not sinned, then we make him a liar, and his Word is not in us. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
