1 John 1:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may ^[a]realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a ^[b]distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

⁴ And we are now writing these things to you so that our joy [in seeing you included] may be full [and ^[c]your joy may be complete].

⁵ And this is the message [the message of ^[d]promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [^[e]no, not in any way].
