我们现在告诉你们的是关于在世界开始之前就早已存在的:

我们听到了它,
亲眼目睹了他,
我们观察了它,
并亲手触摸了它。

我们写信给你们谈谈关于赋予生命之道(基督)。 这个生命显现过,我们看见过它,并为它作证。现在我们向你们宣告,上帝将曾与父上帝同在的永恒生命展示给了我们。 我们耳闻目睹了它,现在我们把所见所闻也宣告给你们,以便你们也能够与我们结成同盟 [a]。我们与父上帝和他的儿子耶稣基督共同分享这同盟。 我们把这些事情写给你们,为了使你们能够与我们一起充满快乐。

上帝宽恕我们的罪

这是我们从耶稣基督那里听到的信息,现在我们把它告诉给你们∶上帝是光 [b](善良),在他之中没有黑暗(罪)。 如果我们说我们与上帝结成了同盟,但是却继续生活在黑暗之中(罪),那么我们就是说谎者-我们就不是在遵从真理。 上帝在这光之中,我们也应该生活在这光之中,这样,我们彼此就结成同盟。当我们生活在这光之中时,耶稣的血(死)会洗清我们的一切罪恶。(耶稣是上帝之子。)

如果我们说自己没有任何罪恶,我们就是在自欺欺人,真理就不在我们之中。 但是,如果我们承认了我们的罪恶,可信和正义的上帝会宽恕我们的罪恶,并洗清我们所有的过错。 10 如果我们说我们没有犯过罪,我们就使上帝成为说谎者了,他的信息就不在我们心中。

The Incarnation of the Word of Life

That which was from the beginning,(A) which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,(B) which we have looked at and our hands have touched(C)—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared;(D) we have seen it and testify to it,(E) and we proclaim to you the eternal life,(F) which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard,(G) so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.(H) We write this(I) to make our[a] joy complete.(J)

Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness

This is the message we have heard(K) from him and declare to you: God is light;(L) in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness,(M) we lie and do not live out the truth.(N) But if we walk in the light,(O) as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin.(P)

If we claim to be without sin,(Q) we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.(R) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins(S) and purify us from all unrighteousness.(T) 10 If we claim we have not sinned,(U) we make him out to be a liar(V) and his word is not in us.(W)

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

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