1 John 1:1-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

1 What was from the beginning,^(A)
what we have heard,
what we have seen with our eyes,
what we have observed
and have touched with our hands,
concerning the Word^(B) of life—
² that life was revealed,^(C)
and we have seen it
and we testify and declare to you
the eternal life that was with the Father
and was revealed to us^(D)—
³ what we have seen and heard
we also declare to you,
so that you may have fellowship^(E) along with us;
and indeed our fellowship is with the Father^(F)
and with His Son Jesus Christ.
⁴ We are writing these things^[a]
so that our^[b] joy^(G) may be complete.
