1What<3739> was from the beginning<746>, what<3739> we have heard<191>, what<3739> we have seen<3708> with our eyes<3788>, what<3739> we have looked<2300> at and touched<5584> with our hands<5495>, concerning<4012> the Word<3056> of Life<2222>--
2and the life<2222> was manifested<5319>, and we have seen<3708> and testify<3140> and proclaim<518> to you the eternal<166> life<2222>, which<3748> was with the Father<3962> and was manifested<5319> to us--
3what<3739> we have seen<3708> and heard<191> we proclaim<518> to you also<2532>, so<2443> that you too<2532> may have<2192> fellowship<2842> with us; and indeed<2532> our fellowship<2842> is with the Father<3962>, and with His Son<5207> Jesus<2424> Christ<5547>.
4These<3778> things<3778> we write<1125>, so<2443> that our joy<5479> may be made<4137> complete<4137>.
5This<3778> is the message<31> we have heard<191> from Him and announce<312> to you, that God<2316> is Light<5457>, and in Him there is no<3756> darkness<4653> at all<3762>.
6If<1437> we say<3004> that we have<2192> fellowship<2842> with Him and yet walk<4043> in the darkness<4655>, we lie<5574> and do not practice<4160> the truth<225>;
7but if<1437> we walk<4043> in the Light<5457> as He Himself<846> is in the Light<5457>, we have<2192> fellowship<2842> with one<240> another<240>, and the blood<129> of Jesus<2424> His Son<5207> cleanses<2511> us from all<3956> sin<266>.
8If<1437> we say<3004> that we have<2192> no<3756> sin<266>, we are deceiving<4105> ourselves<1438> and the truth<225> is not in us.
9If<1437> we confess<3670> our sins<266>, He is faithful<4103> and righteous<1342> to forgive<863> us our sins<266> and to cleanse<2511> us from all<3956> unrighteousness<93>.
10If<1437> we say<3004> that we have not sinned<264>, we make<4160> Him a liar<5583> and His word<3056> is not in us.
