Prologue: Our Declaration
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 also have fellowship(E) 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.
Fellowship with God
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light,(H) and there is absolutely no darkness in him.(I) 6 If we say, “We have fellowship(J) with him,” and yet we walk in darkness,(K) we are lying and are not practicing the truth.(L) 7 If we walk in the light(M) as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus(N) his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say, “We have no sin,”(O) we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive(P) us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make him a liar, and his word(Q) is not in us.(R)

1 Nou vle pale w de Pawòl[a] ki bay lavi a, sila a ki te la okòmansman an. Se li menm nou te tande epi nou te wè ak pwòp je nou. Nou te wè kijan l te aji, epi men nou te touche l. 2 Wi, sila ki se lavi a, li te parèt aklè devan nou. Nou te wè l, epi kon sa nou ka pale lòt yo de li. Kounye a, n ap anonse w li. Li se lavi etènèl ki te nan Bondye Papa a epi ki te parèt aklè devan nou. 3 Wi, se sa nou te wè ak sa nou te tande, n ap di w la a, paske nou vle w genyen kominyon[b] ak nou. Kominyon nou genyen an, se avèk Bondye Papa a ansanm ak Pitit li, Jezikris. 4 N ap ekri w bagay sa yo pou w kapab gen kè kontan nèt ale ak nou.
Bondye padone peche nou
5 Men sa mesaj Jezikris voye a te di: Bondye se limyè. Nan Li, pa gen pyès fènwa. 6 Konsa, si nou di nou gen kominyon ak Li epi n ap mennen tèt nou tankou moun ki nan fènwa, n ap bay manti epi nou p ap mete verite a an pratik. 7 Si n ap mache nan limyè,[c] paske Bondye nan limyè, n ap gen bon jan relasyon youn ak lòt epi san sakrifis Jezikris, pitit Bondye a, ap netwaye tout peche nou yo epi l ap fè nou pwòp.
8 Si nou di nou inosan pou sa ki gen pou wè ak peche, n ap twonpe tèt nou epi nou rejte verite a. 9 Si nou konfese peche nou yo bay Bondye, li fidèl epi li dwat, l ap padone nou epi l ap netwaye nou de tout sa nou te fè ki pa bon. 10 Si nou di nou pa janm fè peche, nou fè l tounen yon moun k ap bay manti epi tou nou rejte ansèyman li a.

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)

1 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;
2 (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;)
3 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.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5 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.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 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.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 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.
