1 JOHN 1
1 That which was from the beginning, that we have heard, that our eyes have seen, that we have studied and our hands have touched, regarding the Word of Life. 2 Now this Life was revealed – and we have seen, we tell about, and we announce this Life of the Age to you which was with the Father and was revealed to us. 3 What we have seen and heard we announce also to you so that you may have fellowship with us – the same fellowship we have with the Father and with his son Jesus Christ. 4 So we are writing these things so that our joy may be filled up.
5 And this is the message which we have heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light and in him there is absolutely no darkness. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him but we are walking in darkness, we are shown to be liars and are not living the truth. 7 But if we are walking in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus his son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say that we don’t have any sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth isn’t in us. 9 If we confess our sins he is faithful and right in taking those sins away, and he will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we haven’t sinned we are making him a liar and his word isn’t in us.
