1 John 1

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.

2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.

3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

4 We write these things to you so that our joy may be complete.

5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice 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 Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

1 ¶ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

5 ¶ This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto 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 lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 ¶ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1 Which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have touched, of the word of life.

2 (and the life appeared, and we have seen, and testify, and declare unto you the life that is eternal, which was with the Father, and appeared unto us);

3 What we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and that our fellowship may be with the Father, and with the Son, JESUS CHRIST.

4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

5 And this is the proclamation which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that GOD is a light, and in him is no darkness.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, so we lie and do not do the truth.

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another: and the blood of JEsu Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say, we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 But if we confess our sin, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us:]
