1 Johannes 1
BasisBijbel

Jezus is het Levende Woord

1 We willen jullie vertellen over het Levende Woord. Het Levende Woord was er al vanaf het begin. We hebben Hem gehoord, met onze eigen ogen gezien en met onze eigen handen gevoeld. 2 In Hem is het Leven Zelf zichtbaar geworden. Dat eeuwige Leven was bij de Vader, en de Vader heeft het zichtbaar gemaakt zodat wij het konden zien. 3 We willen jullie vertellen wat we hebben gezien en gehoord, zodat we één met elkaar zullen zijn. En wíj zijn één met de Vader en met zijn Zoon Jezus Christus.[a] 4 We schrijven jullie deze dingen, met de bedoeling dat jullie vol blijdschap zullen zijn.

God is licht

5 Dit is de boodschap die we van Hem hebben gehoord en die we aan jullie bekend maken: God is licht. Er is in Hem helemaal geen duisternis. 6 Dus als we zeggen dat we één met Hem zijn, maar zelf in het donker leven omdat we Hem niet willen gehoorzamen, dan liegen we. Dan leven we niet vanuit Gods waarheid.[b] 7 Maar als we in het licht leven en Hem gehoorzaam willen zijn, net zoals Hij in het licht is, dan zijn we één met elkaar. Dan wast het bloed van zijn Zoon Jezus Christus ons schoon van al onze ongehoorzaamheid aan God. 8 Als we zeggen dat we nooit ongehoorzaam zijn aan God, houden we onszelf voor de gek. Dan leven we niet vanuit Gods waarheid. 9 Maar als we het aan God vertellen als we verkeerd hebben gedaan en Hem om vergeving vragen, dan vergeeft Hij ons. Dan wast Hij ons weer schoon van elke ongehoorzaamheid, zoals Hij heeft beloofd. Want Hij doet altijd wat Hij heeft gezegd. 10 Maar als we zeggen dat we nooit ongehoorzaam zijn aan God, zeggen we eigenlijk dat Hij een leugenaar is. Dan is zijn woord niet werkelijk in ons hart.

  1. 1 Johannes 1:3 'Christus' is niet Jezus' achternaam! Het woord 'Christus' is Grieks en betekent 'Gezalfde'. (Het Nieuwe Testament is in het Grieks geschreven). 'De gezalfde' is in de Joodse Boeken de man die speciaal door God met zijn Geest is gevuld ('gezalfd') om Israël te redden. In het Hebreeuws, de taal waarin het Oude Testament is geschreven, werd hij de 'Messias' genoemd, wat hetzelfde betekent.
  2. 1 Johannes 1:6 Met de 'waarheid' bedoelt Johannes het goede nieuws.

1 John 1
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

1 [We are writing] about the Word of Life [[a]in] Him Who existed from the beginning, Whom we have heard, Whom we have seen with our [own] eyes, Whom we have gazed upon [for ourselves] and have touched with our [own] hands.

2 And the Life [[b]an aspect of His being] was revealed (made manifest, demonstrated), and we saw [as eyewitnesses] and are testifying to and declare to you the Life, the eternal Life [[c]in Him] Who already existed with the Father and Who [actually] was made visible (was revealed) to us [His followers].

3 What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may [d]realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a [e]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 [f]your joy may be complete].

5 And this is the message [the message of [g]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 [[h]no, not in any way].

6 [So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents].

7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].

8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts].

9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].

10 If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].

1 John 1
New International Version

The Incarnation of the Word of Life

1 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. 2 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. 3 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) 4 We write this(I) to make our[a] joy complete.(J)

Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness

5 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. 6 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) 7 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)

8 If we claim to be without sin,(Q) we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.(R) 9 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)
