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.

Fellowship with Him and One Another

(M)This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that (N)God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

The Word of Life

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 touched, concerning the Word of life— the life was revealed, and we have seen it and testify to it, and announce to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was revealed to us— we declare to you that which we have seen and heard, that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. We are writing these things to you so that our joy may be complete.

God Is Light

This then is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice 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 cleanses 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 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.

La palabra de vida

Lo que era desde el principio,(A) lo que hemos oído, lo que hemos visto con nuestros ojos, lo que hemos contemplado, y palparon nuestras manos referente al Verbo de vida, la vida que se ha manifestado, y que nosotros hemos visto(B) y de la que damos testimonio, es la que nosotros les anunciamos a ustedes: la vida eterna, la cual estaba con el Padre, y se nos ha manifestado. Así que, lo que hemos visto y oído es lo que les anunciamos a ustedes, para que también ustedes tengan comunión con nosotros. Porque nuestra comunión es con el Padre y con su Hijo Jesucristo. Les escribimos estas cosas, para que el gozo de ustedes sea completo.

Dios es luz

Éste es el mensaje que hemos oído de él, y que les anunciamos a ustedes: Dios es luz, y en él no hay tiniebla alguna. Si decimos que tenemos comunión con él, y vivimos en tinieblas, estamos mintiendo y no practicamos la verdad. Pero si vivimos en la luz, así como él está en la luz, tenemos comunión unos con otros, y la sangre de Jesús, su Hijo, nos limpia de todo pecado. Si decimos que no tenemos pecado, nos engañamos a nosotros mismos, y la verdad no está en nosotros. Si confesamos nuestros pecados, él es fiel y justo para perdonar nuestros pecados y limpiarnos de toda maldad. 10 Si decimos que no hemos pecado, lo hacemos a él mentiroso, y su palabra no está en nosotros.
