1 What was from a beginning, what we have heard, what we have see with the eyes of us, what we gazed on, and the hands of us felt, concerning the Word of the life;

2 (and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and we bear testimony, and we declare to you the life the age–lasting, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

3 what we have seen and we have heard, we declare to you, so that also you fellowship may have with us; indeed the fellowship and the our with the Father and with the son of him Jesus Anointed.

4 And these things we write to you, so that the joy of you may be complete.

5 And this is the message, which we have heard from him and announce to you, that the God light is, and darkness in him not is any.

6 If we should say, that fellowship we have with him and in the darkness we should walk, we speak falsely, and not we do the truth;

7 if but in the light we should walk, as he is in the light, fellowship we have with each other, and the blood of Jesus Anointed the son of him cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we should say, that sin not we have, ourselves we deceive, and the truth not is in us.

9 If we confess the the sins of us, faithful he is and just so that he may forgive to us the sins, and he may cleanse us from all righteousness.

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

1 We have heard that which was from the beginning. We have also seen it with our own eyes. We looked at it and touched it with our hands. It is the Word of life.

2 The life was made known and we have seen and testify about it. We declare the life to you. It is the eternal life, which was with the Father and was shown to us.

3 We declare to you what we have seen and heard. This way you may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ!

4 We write these things that our joy may be made full complete.

5 This is the message we heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

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

7 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.

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 righteous to forgive us our sins, 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.
