That which[G3739]was[G2258]from[G575] the beginning[G746], which[G3739] we have heard[G191], which[G3739] we have seen[G3708] with our[G2257]eyes[G3788], which[G3739] we have looked upon[G2300], and[G2532]our[G2257]hands[G5495] have handled[G5584], of[G4012] the Word[G3056]of[G4012]life[G2222];
2
(For[G2532] the life[G2222]was[G2258]manifested[G5319], and[G2532] we have seen[G3708] it, and[G2532] bear witness[G3140], and[G2532]shew[G518] unto you[G5213] that eternal[G166]life[G2222], which[G3748]was[G2258]with[G4314] the Father[G3962], and[G2532]was[G2258]manifested[G5319] unto us[G2254];)
3That[G2443]which[G3739]we[G518]have[G2192]seen[G3708]and[G2532]heard[G191] declare we[G518] unto you[G5213], that[G2443]ye[G5210]also[G2532] may have[G2192]fellowship[G2842]with[G3326]us[G2257]: and[G2532] truly our[G2251]fellowship[G1161] is with[G3326] the Father[G3962], and[G2532]with[G3326]his[G846]Son[G5207]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547].
4And[G2532] these things[G5023] write we[G1125] unto you[G5213], that[G2443]your[G5216]joy[G5479] may be[G5600]full[G4137].
5This[G3778]then[G2532]is[G2076] the message[G1860]which[G3739] we have heard[G191]of[G575]him[G846], and[G2532]declare[G312] unto you[G5213], that[G3754]God[G2316]is[G2076]light[G5457], and[G2532]in[G1722]him[G846]is[G2076]no[G3756]darkness[G4653] at all[G3762].
6If[G1437] we say[G2036]that[G3754] we have[G2192]fellowship[G2842]with[G3326]him[G846], and[G2532]walk[G4043]in[G1722]darkness[G4655], we lie[G5574], and[G2532]do[G4160]not[G3756] the truth[G225]:
7But[G1161]if[G1437] we walk[G4043]in[G1722] the light[G5457], as[G5613]he[G846]is[G2076]in[G1722] the light[G5457], we have[G2192]fellowship[G2842] one with another[G3326], and[G2532] the blood[G129] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]his[G846]Son[G5207]cleanseth[G2511]us[G2248]from[G575]all[G3956]sin[G266].
8If[G1437] we say[G2036]that[G3754] we have[G2192]no[G3756]sin[G266], we deceive[G4105]ourselves[G1438], and[G2532] the truth[G225]is[G2076]not[G3756]in[G1722]us[G2254].
9If[G1437] we confess[G3670]our[G2257]sins[G266], he is[G2076]faithful[G4103]and[G2532]just[G1342]to[G2443]forgive[G863]us[G2254]our[G2257]sins[G266], and[G2532]to[G2443]cleanse[G2511]us[G2248]from[G575]all[G3956]unrighteousness[G93].
10If[G1437] we say[G2036]that[G3754] we have[G264]not[G3756]sinned[G264], we make[G4160]him[G846] a liar[G5583], and[G2532]his[G846]word[G3056]is[G2076]not[G3756]in[G1722]us[G2254].
